Thanks a LOT, Jack. You're a BIG help.

Besides not being able to afford it, I don't like big boats, I don't like trimarans, and I don't like large, heavy objects following me down the highway. Rick knows all this.

He also wants an airplane (which he also, fortunately, cannot afford). But he knows that I hate to fly.

Do you think he is trying to tell me something?

By the way, (Rick, are you listening?) my Christmas wish list includes a new Hobie Wave -- or at least a new sail (preferably dacron) for my old Wave, since I am going to be racing this year.
