Jax said: I've seen teenage girls out on Sunfish in 25+ knots. Always
amazed me.

Local kids here seem nonplussed about sailing Butterfly's, sailboards, and
other small dinghy things in the 25+ range here, too....I don't understand
where Ed is coming from with this stuff...he has said he sailed small lakes
and it may be that you wouldn't see them out on a small lake since it would
be more difficult to sail veering wind positions from topographically driven
systems...on a larger lake you would have more space with unchanging wind
patterns...
