Initial research suggest the Curmugeonly Gene will most likely be carried by owners of sailing boats who hail from Scotland. Is this correct? Or are such types only FAKING the CG in order to win respect amongst others, or a cheaper berth?

Your post pre-supposes the curmugeon factor is genetic.
I prefer the thesis that this condition in a result of environment, especially as it is most prevalent in those who hail from Alba but live in Englandshire.

If you mean Curmudgeonly who exactly is

"An ill-tempered person full of resentment and stubborn notions"

There are some nutcases and even stubborn but ill-tempered?

I would humbly suggest it is in no small part due to the deminuitive size and choice of headgear of the personage in question

I think !

Oh, Fur Cough !

I have told you a thousand times not to exaggerate !

We got into the lock at the same time as you - remember?

And the reason you left after us, all of about 30 minutes, was because you and the other drunks on your boat couldn't get their butts out of bed !

Indeed, disgraceful slur on our characters not least our butts which were being worked hard that morning ... as official logkeeper I can confirm the veracity of my skipper's observations .... our case rests.
