Draw what conclusions you want, but I think that a lot of "spinnaker snobs" punted when they found out what boat the 2004 Alter Cup was going to be sailed in. They should all be ashamed of themselves.



Talking about attitude ! I understand that we must all bow to the greatest one-design fleet in the USA and yell out HAIL ! three times in a row, but why do you think that people should do anything other then what they consider attractive ?

If say a skilled F18 doesn't get all warm and fuzzy when thinking about racing Hobie 16's in an Alter Cup event then why is he not free to thank for that honour and not go ?

Why on earth should he be ashamed of himself ?

Be called a snob ?


I think you have got things a bit mixed up here
