Really?!?! Steve has the wherewithal to go after all kinds of records. He’s had his successes and failures, but he keeps plugging away until he reaches his goal. Sounds like a guy many people would like to emulate.

Larry is, well, Larry. He’s a self-made gazillionair and confirmed blowhard but you’ve got to admire someone that will throw so much money around to have fun. You may say Bill Gates spends his money to improve the human condition and Larry wastes his on toys and gargantuan estates. I’d say that a lot of the money Larry has spent has created lots of jobs and improved sailing technology. It would have been very interesting if Larry had won and the AC was held on SF Bay. It’s a hell of a sailing venue for sailors and spectators.

Both Steve and Larry have won races and respect. You should stick to your technical rants.
