J-dub,
You need to read my post previous to this.It answered a bunch of your questions.
As far as the health of the class, beating the F-18s IS what is needed, that's where we are loosing class members.No need to dance around it, but I still see the F18 as the closest benchmark to work towards.
JW ,you and I will never agree on this because I'm as passionate about the N20 as you are F18.I still love ya.

Is Tad that guy that moaped around Hartwell for 20 minutes Sunday afternoon? I thought that Thadeus guy actually sailed occasionally.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
