1) Mr. Bean:
Alpine and Nordic skiing is especially damaging to young joints and limbs. (
I know 
).
Without intervention, those problems don't improve with age, and I'll wager many here on this forum can attest to that. Many here already have mentioned
joint surgeries.
Just down the street from Gunstock's ski-slopes is an orthopedic clinic!
2) Mr. Mullen has stated that "any two sailboats is a race": Having
vanquished many an "advantaged" boat,

I can agree with that.
Try buying a second Laser, then "Lead By Example".
I
guarantee you will eventually lose any advantage you claim through "Age and Experience".
3) Mr. Mullen:
There is
no shoreline more difficult to sail from, than one that faces into Winnipesaukee's prevailing wind.

Expect beginning sailors—especially—to damage
every sailboat under this circumstance.
Into which direction does this proposed shoreline face?
