James,
I must protest (mildly). The word "nimble" has a long and fairly
specific useage for mariners of English language persuasion. Useage I am
familiar with has always meant a good seaboat, one that threads her way
thru the seas and never gets hammered. There's this white, foaming beast
marching down on you; some hulls will rise over it like a duck- not a drop,
while others disapear in a shower of spray. One is nimble and the other not.
