   firstly, are ultra 30s still sailed now?  And also, what do the
other 5 sailors do when team members one steers, one does the
mainsheet, one does the jib and one the spinnaker?

	Sit around and reflect on the laws of physics that demonstrate why a big lumbering 30footer is a damn sight slower than an 18 I should think.

	Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.
