Yeah, you guys have heard me bellyache about no sailing. Finnaly, tonight I got in 2 hours on a small lake near here! AHHH!

 

I feel much better now!

i would love to go sailing, never have though.

 

any pics of your boat?

Just being on the water, no matter what craft or vessel I happen to be in, is a MAJOR stress relief for me....

Almost as much as music is, as a matter of fact......

 

My newest project:

....an 18-footer I picked up for free with a blown motor....boat's in great shape, just need to find a cheap motor to replace this one with....

Timmerz, that looks like one screamin' sweet hot rod when you get her running!

 

Retro, found a pic in e-format. Check the attachment. It's a Shell Swifty 14.

 

14' long

6' beam

19' folding mast

daggerboard

85 sq ft sail area

 

May add a jib, say 20 sq ft or less. Planned to this year, but the mods didn't happen.

 

She really moves in a 10 knot wind!

I always wondered just how fast a knot is compared to mphs

1 knot = 1.15 mph

 

1 nautical mile = 1' (1 minute) of latitude (north-south) on a map = 1.15 miles
