Wouter-
Just ignore Sam, he loves to argue, he can't help it! It's his way of getting attention. And Sam- if you want to personally argue with Wouter (he is Dutch after all and they are famous for being stubborn and argumentative, probably why you target him isn't it?) please do it personally rather than using our F 16 forum. If you have such a "thing" for Wouter - why didn't you take it up with him personally when he was at Spring Fever awhile ago?
As for criticizing how skillful another sailor is or how good a sailor Wouter is, why don't you tell everybody here your racing credentials?? Or your design, building or engineering credentials (compared to Phill for instance)?
If you want to contribute how about saying something positive and constructive and becoming a positive influence? I know you are capable of doing this.

Thanks-
