A sagacious observation from America's Dairyland. Along similar lines, similar at least to the lines of the new GiuII, can any of our math geniuses come up with a calculation on either the cellphone minutes the Portagee burns up, or the time scrambling through his English for Doryboatmen Dictionary, required for him to ascertain the meaning of words like sagacious? My thoery is that a confused Portagee is a photoshop impotent Portagee.
Long live the Giu II !

Sway- I'll be back with a comment when I finish looking up "sagacious". (Does it have something to do with a rabbit?)

SA...sometimes the beilief you have that all things American are the best surprizes me...please stick to your 5 cent political analysis, and leave the terminology appart from this...
Please, understand this:
The word Sagacious in English actually comes from the Latin word Sagax or Sagac, and means the ability to perceive.
Please also be informed that it is a word widely used in the Portuguese language with the same meaning..
as you know, or at least pretend to know, my language is a latin language, so more that often, many of the words you use to impress the other members here at sailnet, are latin based, so no news for me there...
Besides, as a foreigner I had to study English, in order to learn it, meaning I had to read and learn many terms of the language you speak...
I know and knew with no need for further investigation what the word sagacious means...in this field, my friend...I am way ahead of you incongruent...(here's one for you to look up)...

Ah, Vasco is up early this morning, no doubt contemplating getting a good coating of nothing on his new yacht. I find the design of that yacht to be not at all incongruent with the capabilities of her proud master.

I'm thinking we should transfer this thread to sailboat design and construction where the capabilities of the Portagee dreadnought could be examined in closer and more intimate detail.

Such simple inspiration for such phenomenal results. I think the transom is far more elegant than on the first Giu effort, myself.
