    Does the owner have as much fun as Bjarne in his GIS? Imagine all the organisation he has to do to go sailing for the afternoon!?

    Imagine all the Storer Designed/Chase Built boats he could have on board. Even better, imagine how easily he could have funded the composites/boatbuilding program I had all lined up...and fell through because of "no $".

    Mik -

    My guess is, he has one of his assistants call the captain to tell him to be ready to sail at whatever time the owner wants to go sailing. That's the extent of that owner's involvement in getting ready for a sail...
