Hey all, I started the thread on SA re:C28's v M32's, which I think is a valid one. Both have essentially the same value prop ie - speed, OD, trailering, etc...
I also read the comment on lessening bigotry...unfortunately it is still alive and well.
Here's a blurb from a posting on NOYC.org where Strategery was referred to as a Catamoron. It's an interesting thread from an obviously idiotic source. What is interesting is that no one chimed in to tell him to shut up (which will normally happen).
Here's an excerpt from "JC"
" Catamorons do not belong in phrf regattas. They should only be raced against each other and only in Florida and only out of my sight. Listen, if you hippie catamoron freaks with your long hair, flip flops and flowery shirts want to race, that's fine but I don't want to know about it or hear about it. "
and then we were Trimorons (I had to correct him of course) with this gem...
"...I am curious about the 7 steps to becoming a trimoron sailor. Let me venture a guess:
step 1) remove half your brain
step 2) move to florida
step 3) buy flowery shirt and sandals
step 4) grow hair long and start calling everyone " Dude " as in , " Dude, like where's my tri ?"
step 5) start incessantly posting about the great upwind capabilites of trimorons
step 6) make fun of lead keeled phrf machines ( oops, I already do that...mmm, that's not good )
step 7) recognize that there is a higher power and it's Shaun Penn from "Fast times at ridgemont high."
