IMHO, it's an attitude thing.
If you are comfortable with the boat in the service for which you wish to
place it in, you have a winner, If not, you have a problem.
Bill Pinkney, the first black man to solo circumnavigate, when asked what
was the most important thing he had on board during the trip, didn't say
a word, but answered with a simple gesture.
He pointed to his head.
Works for me.
Since I'm building a boat, it is obvious I have some pretty strong
convictions, but we won't go there.
