- This is a valuable datum. Anyone who is trying to decide
- on a used boat should check out the local schools. They will
- have chosen the type of boat that is best suited to the local
- conditions. [John Hughes: perhaps this hint should go into the
- FAQ file].

- In the SF Bay area, Olympic Circle Sailing Club (the best-known
- school) uses Cal20s (my former boat), Olson 25s (my current boat),
- J24s and a couple of larger boats, too. What do schools use in other
- areas?
