Lasers? Match racing? marks to starboard? You sir, are entering my
realm. I raced Force Fives before you were born. Lasers, Thistles,
Lightnings, Optis, Hobies. You name it, I sail it. You can choose
from a Sunfish to a Swan 60. I will kick your ass. And I will bring
back trophies to show everyone.

Your yacht club, or mine?

Surely lasers are much too fast for mighty Hungarian warriors wouldn't
Optimists be a better choice? And of course the beer couldn't fall out of an
Optimist (and you'd have plenty of time to quaff it).


Lasers? Not too fast for a mighty Hungarian warrior. I have a 14 to
one mainsheet. Optis, FJs, Flying Duchman. I can get any racing boat
I want. A better challenge would be one-on-one, single handed with
thistles, or lightnings.

This is getting good! I am a successful yacht racer, from all points
of the globe. I have trophies to prove it,

On my second Mill's Race, with my own yacht, is the first time I was
attacked by sea monsters.

You girly-boys reading this may want to forward, or you will soil your
own panties.

We became entangled in fish nets. It was 3 AM, and I dove into the
water, with a knife clenched in my teeth. I cut away the nets,
knowing full well that if I became entangled in the webbing, I would
never breathe fresh air again.

I swam to the surface, my crew was vigilant, and well trained, they
had thrown a line, attached to a boat cushions, which I grabbed, and
pulled myself back to the boat.

The ordeal did not end there.

During the next three hours, floats from the monster were banging
against our hull. The monster had wrapped itself around our keel, and
was slowing us down.

At 6AM, When the sun was up, I dove into the sea again, and cut us
loose. I saved one of the tentacles, and it is nailed to my wall, as
a tribute to my heroism, and bravery.

That's a pretty good trick. I was eleven when Fred Scott and Jack Evans
designed the Force 5 as a ripoff of Bruce Kirby's Laser.

I've never sailed one myself, but I've sailed against them - not exactly
the fastest things on the water.

As long as it's not one of those wimpy boats with a ballasted keel,
whatever.

Your yacht club, or mine?

Mine. I provide the boats - no charter fee or anything.
You may choose your weapon from among nine different one-designs (Laser,
470, Vanguard 15, etc.) Sorry, no four-knot **** boxes allowed.

I know there's some doubters here, but I have proof.

All that proves is that Detroit has a newspaper.

On second thought, even that could have been faked.

Detroit has one-and-a-half, actually. Although if you noticed the
headline in the sidebar ("Detroit teenager dreams of escaping
poverty") you might dispute whether they report "news" or not.

How about single handed in Larks? does a mighty Hungarian warrior have the
mass to handle that?

That's a lot of mechanical advantage for a sheet.

Is your main sheet trimmer a weakling? Perhaps you should offer him a
bowl of Wheaties.
