Sam, if you want a tally, our skippers trapeze is similar to the one Wouter presented pictures of. Is it the best one? No, but it works adequately.. We have choosen to spend our time on other areas to go faster, but perhaps we will care enough to change it next season.
Nobody minds you disagreeing with Wouter or others, but you would be taken a lot more seriously if you used a less personal style in your writing. Would be better "netiquette" as well IMHO.
To allow one or two persons to decide what is "true", based upon their own agenda,is a Socialist dictatorship.
If thats the general view you in the US have on socialism, it certainly explains a lot
