yes, it is a Revolution

That is perhaps the most idiotic comment I have ever seen on the internet.

You only gave the definition in post 16 - AFTER you asked the question in post 9, and AFTER the question was answered in post 12. It is insane to criticise someone as you did because their question did not fit a definition you provided AFTER they gave you an answer.

Even the definition you gave after the question was answered doesn't help your case. The 'value' of a sailboat is subjective. There are about as many Australians, for example, who found a non-foiling Moth valuable enough to race in 2000 as there are who currently find a foiling Moth valuable enough to race. For someone who wants a popular and widespread one design sportsboat, there is no "value" at all in the Quant 23 since it is not popular or widespread. For someone who wants a foiler the Q23 and Moth can be fantastic, but a question that is so loose is just silly.

Even looking at "performance" is of little use without defining the performance and how it is to be proven.

Oh, and I know that you are a liar but stop lying about your claim that I usually get the facts wrong. I do not, and your revolting and dishonest claims like that are in clear breach of forum rules.

=========================================

CT 249: Incredible level of nonsense-even for a semanticist like you! It's not just that you usually get the facts wrong, it is your proclivity make up "facts" as you did in the above post and in many other posts over the years.

The dictionary definition should not have been necessary for most people but I provided it in case "OF" really didn't know what the word meant. His answer to my original question was no answer at all -it showed a complete lack of understanding of the word. You can't change that .

Win the race, Angelique? Which race? Under what rules? Against what opposition? When sailed by who, and where?

Any race that's open to foilers and non foilers, sailed by anyone who likes to compete and has the means and/or sponsors to do so, sailed on the place and under the rules of that race.
