You don't want a Melges 20 unless: a) your very very rich b) your other boat is a Melges 32 c) you have young hired guns to manage the program d) you like hanging with the biggest dicks in Miami all winter.

Reminds me of my old (and slow) Capri 25. Dear Butler, he couldn't design or build a boat that will ever catch a similar sized J. I know. I owned two of them (22 and 25).

We have an old war horse J35 sails locally. Its windy as stink where we live and the captain has learned the value of the #3. His kids are entering the age zone to sail and handle the boat competently while he runs around like a headless chicken rigging stuff. Id give this program a thumbs up. J35 + young family = success.

God I love all the experts waxing about upstream pollution, etc. etc. The guy asked simple question: What is your experience with Torqeedo. No experience, no comment. In my experience, they are OK for short ranges in non-challenging environments. Around my lake's marina and flat water I look like a genius. Torqeedoing against 5 knots in St Claire River last summer was total loser. Motoring 5 miles out the Miami ship channel into the Atlantic was the Biggest Loser. I own nice gas engine and emotor. Each has their use. It's up to operator to use right one.

Hello Phil. Do you spell it will one L or two? Is there a PPE on the end? Does the Fig 3 jump up on a plane easily? What percentage of time foiling did you guesstimate in the last race?

Trannies for Trump

No Grammy for this one

Leave it to Sacha "Borat" Cohen to yank these Red/White/Blue tards chain nice and hard. These bitches been taken around the world and dumped back on the curb cold and wet https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/sacha-baron-cohen-in-character-seems-to-have-performed-a-racist-song-at-a-right-wing-olympia-rally/

OK, let's be honest. The boring forums (Borums (c)) just don't do it for you any more. Same sad bunch of frustrated old white dudes railing on and on about the same old boring topics...week in...week out. The old "gotcha" one better game. At our age. Really? Well, at least the borums were refreshed (sorta) daily while the mythical FP just got worse and worse after the "new" websie launch years back. Well. That's changed! I'm happy to report that for the first time in a decade, there was way more interesting content on the FP than here. Even Scooters selfie video of A5, a boat older than his children and ex-wives, was not too shabby for a rank amateur. Add couple articles and interviews and, by-god, you got the makings of a real Sailing Ezine! So, does this mean the end of the bitter old blustery Anarchist? Has Scooter sold his soul to peace and happiness? Can we expect less knocking of former sailing peers (hello Leif Bailey, you still alive?)? More actual "content" worth reading? Well. Not here in the Borums. But, ah. The FP! That's the place to be! Ta!Ta! olde chaps

You had to be there after a year of anticipation to enjoy it (small amount of sarcasm)

Every thing you need to know bout him: the run-up to Melges World 2016 and ensuing kluster-fck.
