the truth about sailboats

with all the macho inspecting, grunting and discussion about the various parts, equipment and technical attributes of sailboats going on this week, it occurs to me that it isn't such a mystery afterall... a sailboat, no matter how lavish, is basically a bathtub with some poles, rope and bedsheets attached. and you are suppossed to go to sea in it. hmmm..have to give that some thought.
