You tend to blend into the background occaisionally, but that's okay, because it's much easier to sneak up on people and disembowel them that way. Arr! Kinda fitting actually :P Captain Tiger Mike

Don't make the mistake of tacking a hi performance cat in front of one. They have been known to mow down an unsuspecting cat, they don't tack as quickly... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> (Wasn't me though) BUT... there was/is a 30' Stiletto called "Battle Cat" alas, not me.

The Bounty mutiny also played a major role. The dominant British navy was mostly conscripted and much hated by the sailors. Jimbo
