Any time I sail in a group of boats I'm tempted to
do this sort of non-verbal communication with other
boats.

It was fun to goof on people on my own boat, and then on
one of the other boats. Our boat was a Pearson 37, as
were three other boats in the fleet.

The P-37 is about the nicest boat I've sailed in that size
range. It was also big enough that when the kids were
all up on the bow and distracted I could set the whole
thing up with the other adult on the boat.

By they way, we hit 7.5 knots in about 10 knots of breeze
close reaching with the big genoa. Not bad for a 30.5'
waterline.

Anyone every sailed in a fleet of boats?

On Thursday, I balanced the boat on a close
haul and snuck up on the kids sitting in the bow
while the boat steered itself, and waited to see
how long before they noticed no one was
driving.

It took about 3 minutes.

Good one! must have been amusing.

What kind of boat?
