This in response to all the F16 sailors:
Bob Curry is absolutely right. You F16 guys are killing our open forum. Nobody can talk about any other kind of boat that they are interested in without one of you F16 guys butting in and taking over the thread. We gave you guys your own forum. Why aren't you happy with that? If you want to have a thread on the open forum that deals with the F16, fine. But why take over threads dealing with other types of cats? At the least it is very annoying and rude; and at the most it is destructive for the forum in general, because people are going to go elsewhere to talk about their boats.

Bob Curry is one of the most knowledgeable sailors available to us. I don't know why people want to diss him and chase him away. If you would let him talk, you could learn a great deal, even if he is talking about a different type of boat.

The people on the forum already chased away Bill Roberts, who offered a lot of great technical engineering information.

Bob Curry is a bona fide expert and one of the best sailors in the world. It would behoove y'all to shut up and listen to what he has to say. If it were me, I would be BEGGING him for tips. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
