Then why does every sailing thread talk about racing?

Sailboats are pretty.

Sailboats have a visibilty problem? Do you know how silly that sounds? If you shine one of those in my eyes, I will head over to see why you are signalling distress. How exactly does it exclude powerboats?

BTW a CD is not your best choice.
