Hey, Whoa, I didn't mean to say you or anybody else is dumb if you don't have a bob. I said: "...any man who is intelligent enough to care about his safety and the safety of his friends and family who may be sailing with him is a very cool and sexy guy in my book..."

So what I really meant was that if you are bobless, you are not cool and sexy.

Of course, at my age, I don't really have a "book" any more.

P.S. Please understand that I just worry a lot about you guys and I think a bob might save a life. I have been witness to many, many boats turtling -- and turtling very rapidly -- upon capsize. Being a mother and a grandmother, I am naturally concerned for the safety of small children and novice sailors. I just can't help it.
