Yeah man sailing. Sailing really kicks ass. I didn't really sail much until I went out on my girlfriend's boat. I mean I was a bit sketchy on it...I thought it would be...you know...alright. But it was soo kick ass. There were huge waves and splashes and at one point I fell off into the water. So now I'm a wanna be sailor. I totally suck, but I'm taking lessons and getting better. When I've a job et family I'm sure as hell going to buy myself a sailboat.

So what I'm getting at, does anyone here sail? I'm nowhere near being good enough to race, but my girlfriend does, she's wicked good. I wish I had known about this earlier.

Go sailing now.

yeah man, sailing is kick ass. what do you sail? I've raced prams, opti's, and 420's a couple times. using the trapize is very fun. we have a sailing school in my town and I think I'm gonna work there next year. easiest job-you go, sit out on the boat and tell kids what they're doing wrong. once in a while you swim or help the kids rig their boat.

I sail nearly everyday in the summer. I race Lasers, 420s and 29ers. Super fun sport, espically when its cranking. Just keep at it and you can start racing really soon, just enter some small local regattas and your sailing will really takeoff. Even if you don't get into racing, it's still a great time. By the way, anyone going to be at CORK?

Is cork in canada? My girlfriend was thinking about going to that but I don't think she will be. She works at the sailing club in her town, its great work. When she does private lessons she gets 45 bucks an hour!!!I really wished I were good at sailing.

I can sail my little boat, its called a butterfly. I would sail my dads boat but its too big and if I flipped it I wouldn't be able to get it back over and Ive flipped my butterfly a couple times. Yeah but my dad used to race and its pretty sweet. I want to start racing but I suck and would pry just flip my boat.

my neighbor has a little 12 footer that you can sail by yourself or with others. I've used that a couple times but mostly I use the 420s at the maratime school.

I've been out sailing once before, it was pretty cool- I bet it can get pretty intense at times.

I grew up sailing.
Sunfish, Lasers, and Thistles.

I missed nationals for Thistles this year, they were in florida, and happening right now.
I went last year, though. ( i think it was last year)

I race a few times a week, well, normally once.

mmm



~*I'm going skiing, it's pretty weird
when I get to the top of the slopes
I look down on the mountain side
should I traverse cross country, snow plow or parallel
or hit a mogul, baby, and watch me slip and slide
I might even do some free ride*~

I rented a hobie 16 on lake winnipesaukee last year. no a lot of wind on the lake but it was a nice boat. I could sail it by myself with the jib, but mostly there was no wind so we didnt use the jib.

the only time i ever sailed there was no wind and it sucked. It would have been so sweet if there was wind. Every once in awhile we'd get a gust and start going.
