    As for the conservatism on SN, I think it's definitely there...but what I like about this forum is that it's SAILnet...not just CRUISERSforum. Though those of us who love racing are in a minority -...

    That's true. Moitessier was the perfect example of the fascinating sailing ascetic. But I think it was because he didn't give a damn about "teaching the world" anything. He was just plain crazy and...
