THAT'S IT! WE FINALLY JUMPED THE SHARK! SAILBOTES! UNREAL! FIRST IT WAS CRUISERS, THEN CENTER CONSOLES..... I WOULD NEVER HAVE THOUGHT WE WOULD EVER SINK TO SAILBOTES!

Farewell and adieu to you, fair Spanish ladies.
Farewell and adieu, you ladies of Spain
For we've received orders for to sail back to Boston.
And so nevermore shall we see you again"

I’ll wager sailboats are more “OFFSHOREONLY” than eggbeaters and center pod cats! :riding:

I must say, I get just as much of a rush on a sailboat in a good wind as I do a powerboat, cept it's safer, there's a little more skill involved, and I don't really care if it goes over. Wish I would of got into it sooner, I'd be a lot richer with all the money I would of saved.

We have a Catalina 25 and most Wednesday nights after work either we take it out or we go on a friend's boat in the neighborhood to participate in the Wednesday night handicap races. Leave the dock by 6, back from the race by 9.

After a year of shopping still don't have a go-fast yet. Needed a truck, got a truck the other day. Now waiting on baby to get here before spending any more money just in case.

Been a sailor for 50 years.

Out Gettin it in 20 knots and 5 footers hanging off the trapeze of my Prindle 16 is tough to beat

Any excuse to get out on the water, and get the kids outside. I've had 5 different beach catamarans ranging form Prindle 16's to Supercat 19's to carbon/kevlar F16's. Our family is enjoying wakeboarding now, so all of our catamaran got very little use this year.

What a great pic of the kido. She has so much courage. Mine were done soon as the boat started slanting. How did you get her to sail with you?
