Ditto, sorta'. The last time we went through all the 16/17 rancor, I had a chance to speak with Bob a week or so later and he was very cordial and helpful. I wish I could sail with him more.
He's a shrewd guy. My guess would be that this was more or less his intention in the first place. This thread has brought the most attention the F17 has had all year.
Too bad about all the animosity.
Bob, you should put some smiley faces on your transoms. Then I can still spot you on the horizon.
