11. From reports of the disaster, there was no wind. If they could have =
stopped the flooding, they'd probably be without engine power. No =
problem. They could have jury-rigged some sails and outsailed the North =
Atlantic currents by 40% back to England on the current wind alone.

Hi Gang:

Below are the top 11 things that would have been different if the =
Titanic was sailed by the Potter Yachters. Yeah, I know I have too much =
free time... And before I begin please accept my apologies.
=20
1.. All the way down we would have been saying "According to the =
picture in the brochure, we should be levitating by now".=20
2.. We never would have sank because all the bilges would have =
been filled with styrofoam buoyancy billets and empty milk jugs..=20
3.. We might have sank if Vegan Lorax was in charge, but we =
would have saved a whale on the way down... =20
4.. We could have launched in less than 20 minutes, sooner if it =
had been a Latrine rig..(sorry make that Lateen rig.)=20
5.. All the passagers would have had to sit low and in the =
middle of the ship.=20
6.. Passagers could look out the port windows if an equal number =
(in weight) looked out the starboard windows.=20
7.. SF wouldn't mind if we sunk as long as it wasn't raining and =
there was a good breeze.=20
8.. While waiting for rescue boats, Judy would explain to =
survivors exactly how it happened. Making a graph of the finer points =
with bits of floatsam...=20
9.. We wouldn't have called it the "Tatanic", rather a cuter =
name probably named after one of our dogs or perhaps the "Tiny Antics".=20
10.. We would have turtled as soon as both DiCaprio and his =
girlfriend stood on the bow.=20
11.. Intentionally left blank. In case anyone has a =
suggestion...
