Natural disasters are often frightening and difficult for us to understand, because we have no (39) ____________ over when and

D. The next version was nearly right and by the time the final one
appeared, the form was perfect. The completed boat has now
crossed the North Atlantic and has won four out of her first six
racing starts.
E. Perhaps I am, though I doubt it. This boat has benefited from
all the magic of old fashioned boat design, but it would have been
a much harder job without the advances of modern know-how.
F. For me a boat should always be a boat and not a cottage on
the water. When I bought an earlier boat, Hirta, in which I
circumnavigated Britain for a TV race series, the previous owner
observed that she had every comfort, but no luxury. During my
long relationship with her, Hirta taught me how wise he was.


think that her owner must be some kind of lost-soul
romantic.
55. _____________________________________
It has to be said, however, that despite being an
indispensable tool in current design methods and boatbuilding practice, sophisticated technology frequently
insulates crews from the harsh realities of maritime life.
These are often the very realities they hoped to rediscover by
going to sea in the first place.
56. _____________________________________
The occasional battle with flapping canvas is surely part of a
seaman's life. And for what purpose should we abandon
common sense and move our steering positions from the
security of the aft end to some vulnerable perch half-way to
the bow? The sad answer is that this creates a cabin like that
of an ocean liner, with space for a bed larger than the one at
home.

to speak of, no fridge, no central heating, no winches, and
absolutely no electronics, especially in the navigation department,
yet she was the kindest, easiest boat that I have ever sailed at sea.
58. _____________________________________
The Westerman has never disappointed me. Although Nigel Irens,
the designer, and Ed Burnett, his right-hand man, are adept with
computer-assisted design programs, Irens initially drew this boat on
a paper napkin, and only later transferred his ideas to the computer.
After this had generated a set of lines, he carved a model, just as
boatyards did in the days of sail. Together we considered the
primary embryonic vessel, and then fed the design back into the
electronic box for modification.
59. _____________________________________
