1) To understand it all, the proposal is not complete.
2) Of course I favor sailing, but they're training 200 sailors a year. After only a few years, this will result in too many sailboats on the lake—and use up all the wind.
3) Since you know it's North Carolina, then you did some research. A wave-fence is a poor descriptor, and accuracy can't be found. Even described as a floating breakwater, there is nothing to indicate just
what it is.
Again, to Mr. Mullen, it is still unknown
just what a wave fence is.
3) While on this topic of sailing, I stumbled on the article below. Here, there are a few items—for those who follow the sailing sport.
• Women's sailboat racing.
• A racing championship for the
Sunfish sailboat.
• An international sailing race, to be held in
NoBozo's home state.
•
The Para-Lympics—related to an item mentioned earlier.

[Amanda Callahan] looks forward to joining [team racing] at the 2011 ISAF Team Racing World Championships next August in Ireland. She also hopes to continue sailing the Sunfish competitively. “I am so excited that the Sunfish North Americans are coming to my backyard in Barrington (R.I.),” she mentioned.
The USOC’s Military Paralympic Sailing Clinic at the Newport Naval Base is one of Amanda’s favorite days of the year. “I have the opportunity to give back to people who have given up a lot more for the U.S., and on top of that, it is just a fun day spent with great people.”

Sunfish-National numbers have since doubled,
