I don't know about the horny sailor ratio thing (and is that just for male sailors, BTW?), but I could name at least ten female catsailors off the top of my head right now. I don't know why they don't post. Maybe they're all busy bringing home the bacon and frying it up in the pan.

As for me, I don't have a whole lot of advice to give about diamond wire tension (for example) that (most of) you guys don't already know, so I can merely parrot information that I've learnt through books, videos, and paying attention. It's not that I'm such a natural fanatic, but in my house, you either talk about catamarans or you...talk about catamarans.

I think I should just start busting into more threads, anyway...offer to go get everyone virtual beers, at least.
