What is the most comfortable/uncomfortable boat out there.  In light and heavy winds.  Optimist's have to be up there near the top

merlin rocket is very comfortable, N12 not very comfortable because I don't fit in the front of one! RS 400 roomy but stupid jib sheets in the thwart make it uncomfortable
Needs to sail more...

Hey Tom! I've noticed your sig only today!! Congratulations!!  

And I did look at the photos and noticed the bright green boat.. but failed to see until tonight the 12" letters on the crew's buoyancy aid: GRUITT ! Bit of a giveaway  You had to relinquish your precious camera for once... all for a good cause, though

Fireflies are uncomfortable in o wind, but in lots they're lovely. Mirrors are so painful if ur just perching on the gunwhale, but if ur on the seat or hiking they're ok.

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist hopes it will change; the realist adjusts the sail

not too good for the crew though, but that new fangled upside down  kicker should solve that

The buzz is uncomfortable for crew in light winds and you end up crouching on the floor on your knees and cut them up so much from all that grip stuff

I always found the buzz comfy in light airs....i used to lie down on the spinnaker chute...!  

the wayfarer has got to be the most uncomfortable boat on the planet!....in light winds you have to dangle over the leeward side and in strong winds you have to hike over the painfully shaped side!

Come on a Mirror has to be up there in the uncomfortable stakes. A
perfectly design gunwale to kill the small of you back and then your
knees. Dagger-board which will ruin anyone perineum and side tanks that
cut into the back of your calves!

Comfortable..... let me thnk.. an RC Marblehead
