It's that time of year...

A different type of working sail, the one and the ninety-nine percent, and something everyone should read...

So T-Day has now come and gone and all that remains is that Tupperware bowl half filled with some stuffing... The good news is that the stuffing will go finest-kind with lunch today, the bad news is the onslaught of "Best Of" posts and articles are winging their way to my desktop as we speak...

I actually have a lot of issues with the whole concept of "Best". In most cases "Best" translates to something more akin to "most heavily pimped", silly expensive, or whatever the current fad happens to be...

On the other hand, I'd love to see folks do year end articles on subjects more along the lines of "Most easily repaired sensible cruising gear", "The years best bang for the buck", and "Underrated gear that fulfills its function".

Maybe someone will...
