Nacracando,
can you read? I said we went up to compare the boat to the tigers. We completely ignored the portsmouth boats, partly because the fleet changed so much during the regatta. The guy on the I17 did great. Has nothing to do with what I wrote about.
How did you finish at Spring Fever? You said you were there, right? Were you in the f18 fleet, the f18ht fleet , or the jav16 fleet ? Just curious.
Were you on the same course as us? obviously not. Or you'd know how close the boats were. You like to talk a lot of smack - if you were at the race, why didn't you have the guts to say something to my face? You obvously have something to say to "the class" but aren't brave enough to say it to any class members.
Are you a complete tool? Come on, man. Just because our class doesn't hide behind rock stars doesn't mean it's not legit.

P.S.,
About that "ringer" thing - why the hell is Jim a "ringer" but Struble, WF, Smyth, etc. are just "regular sailors?" Oh, no, you're not biased. NO, of course, you have no personal vendetta against the class.
