Mary - you're right - everything you said is what I was trying to get across... speed and power aren't everything, if it means you limit sailing. Different boats fit different people.
Surf... It's good to be able to have discussions with people who can discuss things they're excited about and stay civil. I enjoyed talking to you, and the only reason I felt it was necessary to say anything relates to the recent (anonymous) posts about the class. Nothing to do with you, and certainly not fair to you, since you were just expressing your thoughts. I hope you enjoy your sailing... I'm gonna go work on my boat now
