Some sailing things that bug me

Tillerman has a new blogger's writing project. Rats, had hoped we'd be able to post random thoughts about the AC to while away the cold dark evenings.

This one has got me scratching my head as its the worst sailing innovation hmm.....

Ok, here are some initial suggestions:

1. AC lawyers - naah, that's just too easy

2. Twin wheeled small cruisers (see above). There's this whole attitude that big racers have twin wheels, and they go fast, hence if you have a smallish (i.e. under 40 foot) production cruising boat and give it twin wheels and bingo! its a flash racer. Nah, doesn't work like that.

3. Anything involving the word "frostbite". No, nope, ain't going to happen, seriously there's a clue in the name there. Its just a ruse for masochists to get some race points over the sane.

What else? Well I know there's something that annoys ol' Buff, but maybe that's best left to another day.
