Jake,
I just wanted to clarify. Yes, 98% of the time this forum is very positive. I suppose after thinking about it here is the difference. While a nascar fan might say “ford is better than chevy”…how many fans actually get to race? Whereas this forum is mostly used by those that actually race, it is sure to lead to passion of brand, type of race, etc.

I think that as sailors (dare I say, Multihull sailors) we as a group are probably more performance orientated than most. I think a contributing factor certainly is fleet building as well. Ok…..I’ve done my post for the new year.
