Boat Blunderer, Boat Blunderer

Boat Blunderer, Boat Blunderer, what an amazing alliterative epithet. I wish I had thought of this tongue rolling, word combination to apply to my sailboat racing, but noooo!, a sailor of "The Kirby Sailboat formerly known as the Laser" just posted a video with that title. On one end of the spectrum are all those Type A personalities who read and practice Dennis Connor's dictum "No Excuse to Lose" and on the other end of the spectrum you have the Boat Blunderers, the corner where I now proudly plunk my oldster battle flag.

  1. Get out to the race late? Check.
  2. Rigged the boat wrong? Check.
  3. Manage to capsize at the wrong time? Check.

Watch the video. It'll make you chuckle.
