I could argue both sides for a week on this one. Reminds me of the boat fish don't count argument. I made my living in the sailing industry for a couple of years, so I can definitely tell you the best of times and the worst of times. Yes, there are less proficient sailors out there, just like there are less proficient fishermen out there. Open your minds. Just be aware whose boat you would be willing to board........

Nightfighter,
How/where did you make a living in "the industry".
I was in the sailboat industry for 25 yrs. We might have lost money on each boat, but we made it up in volume.  |
Enjoying Life !

megabyte,
I was captain of a number of SORC race boats from 79-81. We raced under IOR rule back then. Room, board, vehicles, plus a mate and a cook on the A class boats. Was a good life for just outta school. Then took a sales job for Ulmer Sails, carting an early Apple up and down the east coast in the back of a Volvo wagon. Should have stayed on the water.... mixing your vocation with your avocation isn't always what you expect.
On some deliveries we would troll for dinner. When we did hook up, the fish didn't have a chance as we would reel them in with cross connected coffee grinders  |

What are sailboats good for?
Sail boats are good on gas but they still suck!
