I'm getting into boating to get away from all that constant drinking". So my dad handed him the keys and said " good luck".

LOL! That is extremely funny. The J44 I used to race on has done poorly since they took the marketing director for Bell's Beer on board for the Port Hiron Mackinac race. Bell's is the race sponsor. We used to carry about a case per crew member, probably doubled with Bell's involvement.
