From Issue 2132:
* From Russell Bowler, President, Farr Yacht Design: I have been overwhelmed by the support of knowledgeable people in the industry following the publication of an interview with Gilles Ollier (Scuttlebutt Issue 2126). It is gratifying to receive such support from people who know the facts and know the game. An engineer gets very little thanks from society when things work (when did you last give thanks to an engineer when you crossed a bridge). I have no issue with Gilles’ comments, as I don't think he was intentionally trying to be derogatory, just a little clumsy with the English language. Next time we meet we will have a good discussion, as I am sure we can learn a lot from each other about why boats break.
