I wrote this post for the other thread but thought it might be better on its own as it has nothing (much) to do with your thread.
Funny you'd mention him. Got to sail next to his old boat in Cozumel Friday. It was a touristy thing. We got bumped to the "True North" from Canada and the other team was in the " Stars and Stripes", one of his old boats. Must have been REAL old, it was fiberglass on top and aluminum on the bottom. Sail was probably original and was UGLY. I got a picture I'll try and post later. It. Was. Fantastic. I've never raced in a sailboat before. Their boat was much faster (newer sails), but our strategy was better. They made a huge mistake turning around and we had a good 200 yard lead. Then they ran us down...We lost by a nose.
