> I'm not out to create a sailboat,  I already have one of those. I remember
coming into Fair Harbour last year with 20 knots of wind at my back and
having to work to catch a couple in a double who had quite cunningly erected
their tent fly in the form of a spinnaker. The guy in the back was relaxing
drinking a beer. I thought at the time that I was missing out on something.

Where you could really beat them, is upwind tacking.  But again, they could
paddle straight and beat you anyway :-)...
