Geeze guys, maybe it's time to revisit your roots, I doubt you
all started boating on 40 foot trawlers

Does a 45 foot Bertie Sportfisherman count? :)

You've been onboard my Ranger in a heavy stern rip - remember that
"ride" we took in Narragansett Bay? We didn't get wet, but if you
remember, I wasn't taking the rips between Warwick Neck and Patience
Island for anything - I know the boat's limits.

And I think Harry is right in one respect - knowing when to and when
not to get into trouble is very important with this type of design.

Which has been everyone's point. Given the design, a little *more*
expertise is a requirement. Many of us are not quite the calibre of boater
that you and Harry are, and therefore may have trouble with that design.
