If you can't enjoy sailing by yourself and must have other boats cruising
in company then you're no sailor. Give it up, man! Trying to sail in a
group puts you at the mercy of the least competent of the bunch. Do you
really want that? Do you really wish to be ruled by the lowest common
denominator? Held back by stupid inept people like Skippy and his
breakdown-prone, system-laden pig of a Morgan? That's not sailing.

Probably so, but what has that got to do with me? The main reason I do not
like to sail with other boats is they cannot keep up with my Swan 68. I
would have to tow a tractor tire or something like that to slow me down
enough so lesser boats could keep up with me.

Once again, Willie. The Yellow Mouse Boat IS NOT a Swan.(Do try to
remember - people are beginning to notice).
