I dunno  :-)  It's big enough to carry a crew and it probably has a
head  sail.  You're pushin' the limit there, pardner...  Too much of
that and  you'll be sentenced to selling Yugo parts for three months.

Sounds like fun.  In 12 years that I've owned my Holder, I have seen
three  others.

Ah, here is the reason for a crew:  Self-Defense!  There could be no
other, for offensive weapons are not allowed.
Of course, there are always those errant puffs of wind that can affect
the  trajectory of even the best throwing arm.  And should such an
accident  occur that causes the defensive missile to land on the
captain's face,  causing him to miss that cat's paw coming down the
lake, why, you'd take  full advantage of the opportunity!  You'd
probably feel a instant of guilt  ... nah, no guilt at all.  Just be
sure to maintain the plausible deniability.
