Yowser, been sailing off and on since age 12. San Diego is a perfect place for that (witness Dennis Conner, et al....)

Built my own cruising cutter back in the late 70s, and a couple years ago, I took my scrapbook digital and put up some web pages documenting the 5-year project. The direct URL is http://members.rennlist.com/tweedt/boat.htm if you're interested.

If you look closely, in the first pic, my '67S is parked in the garage behind my old Dodge truck. This was when it still belonged to my father, who bought it new in 1967, but when my stepmother had stupidly had it painted RED from it's original white (to which it has been restored since).

Also, there's a world class sailor here in SD named Tim Hahnke who races a Cup car in PCA and POC events. I think he even raced briefly in the Speedvision GT series. Here's a pic of him at the CA Speedway event last May.
