Capt. Ben defeats Capt. Ben in Greens Cr. Challenge

Capt. Ben Bruno proved both a gracious and wise vanquisher (and a budding young naval architect) when he approached me after the race was done:

"First of all, Good Try!,"

the young gentleman said to me, with an earnest eye...

"But one thing..."

(pause, to ensure no offense...)

"She needs a bigger sail,"

... another pause...

"... Oh... and only one sail,"

he said, referring to the admittedly troublesome and superfluous jib I added to the previous cat-rig ...

I'm thinkin' that's pretty much dead-on advice.
Hmmm... Back to the drawing board.
