Sitting here in 15 degree RI - that looks pretty nice and gives me hope that, yes, summer will return sometime. I'll have to show that to my son, he's moving up to 420s this season, but hasn't really been bitten by the bug yet. He likes it, but he doesn't love it. I think an afternoon on a Tornado might push him over the edge.

I tried a cat for the first time this past summer. I swear I could of had a martini while sailing it in 20 knots of wind. It was much less exciting than when I used to race scows like this.

One GREAT day in my life? Taking on a 20' cat in my 15' Chrysler's "Mutineer" monohull... in a high mountain lake. I tacked the SOB to death upwind...reading catspaws well, I whupped his ass..he dumped, didn't see the shift coming...Equal skipper skills? Mono vs. Cat? Cat wins, speed wise, every time...Cats don't point well, but omygod do they have speed! If crossing oceans were my goal? Monohull!
Iedit) Jeremy? Isn't it some kind of rush when you begin to plane in a monohull??? I never did trapeze...was too old when I started sailing to pull that off. Lack of upper body strength at age 50 plus..

Jeremy? You probably don't know how much I miss dinghy sailing...Only way I can describe it? I miss my old mutineer more than I miss my '72 911S...

2nd video? Look a lot like Columbia river sailing...up by Hood River??? (edit)..those who have never done it..even in the limited manner as I did it? They'll never understand. Thank you for providing the eye candy.

If you were closer - I'd take you sailing in the San Juan 24 Paul - she's no dingy but she goes pretty well.

57' (LOD) wooden gaff rigged ketch, from the BVI's to the Caicos....I never had the guts to fly my Mutineer's spinnaker. The high lake I sailed on??? No Schmidt, 180 degree wind shifts were not uncommon. You really had to keep your ears tuned to pressure changes, and your eyes open for cats paws... An Aussie who started me out told me that if I could learn to sail my mutineer on this high lake, I'd understand how sail works anywhere in the world...
