I agree, depending on how well you do, really is down to the skill of the sailor, not the boat they are sailing

I'd say it was not so much what you sail as against whom you are sailing.

The word "not" is used a few times... that what you mean?

So we are agreed then - no-one can be admitted to any sailing hall of fame before they have won the Star Worlds (1911), the Dragon Worlds (1929) and any one of the "modern" classes - Finn, 505, Snipe, Etchells...

To paraphrase a famous quote about the Good Friday agreement "the 470, a Fireball for slow learners"

If you can win the Star worlds and the 49er worlds (maybe we are talking the helm here, as the crews have somewhat different physiques!) then you should really be called a true master. Anyone even tried?

Elvestrom won the Star Worlds and the 505 Worlds - he helmed the 505 from the trapeze!

Does this count!

The day someone wins the Laser Worlds and a Racing Sailboard Worlds will be the day we've found a genuine sailing legend, until that day 'they' are all minority class champions.
