Thanks...  I'd be bored anywhere else, really.

What wikipedia doesn't tell you is that it generally involves chicks with bicycle shorts, and fatass males attempting to look at said chicks, but failing due to incipient cardiac arrest.

Said males generally pass on to their drinking buddies that despite the chicks, the whole thing was, as they predicted, "too studmuffingoty."

Heh.

Best I could do. Tried to find the pic of the chick in the white cycle shorts from the fake Dutch driving test ("What do you do if you find yourself behind this cyclist?"), to no avail.

bad comparison, for sailing you need to show a pic of a "Australian 18 " up on plane.

18 Foot Skiff

This is one of the most difficult boats out there.  

As well as:



I14

Struggling with the forum code today.

You're right...sorry for comparing fit people to fat people.

I'll compare fit people to boats next time.

And I've been in competitive sailing too... at 70 mph...

It's silly to compare the skipper to the crew on a shell.  How fit is the coxswain compared to the crew?


But the crew on a sailboat need to be able to do far more then exert their muscles.

In Crew Rowing each stroke is like a barbell squat.  Legs, back, arms, chest, abs, all get into the the motion... and a heart rate at the anerobic threshold while you do it.
I made next year's rowing team at my University... not sure if I'm looking forward to that or not. Too bad this place doesn't have a hockey team.

You've obvoiusly never rowed competitively if you think that there is only physical effort involved in rowing and many rowers are involved in sailing.  Con Findlay won gold medals in rowing in 56 and 64...  he then was on Dennis Conners' '74 AC effort, DC's Olympic Tempest in 76 and won bronze. He crewed on Ted Turners 77 AC defense,  

Rob Waddell, The Gold medalist in Mens single sculls in Sydney is now grinding on a Kiwi AC team.  

My original response was due to your callous and  unwarranted attack on crew rowing in another locked thread.  (The obvious reason for the lockage);)
