Yes, we have a few those sailors at our club as well. Got tired of this nonsense and slapped one of them on an F18. The only thing he had to do was drive, we gave him an experienced F18 crew to pull "all those strings and stuff" so he couldn't blame his crew. Then we watched him burn. Capsized the boat right on the bottom mark as well. Boats swirled around him left and right.

Back at the club house over a beer he "sort off" admitted that "just maybe" the above statement "is not entirely" accurate "anymore" in todays catamaran scene.
