Scot,

Uncle Sam has sailboats and canoes for the same reason they have pool
tables and bowling alleys, baseball fields, basketball courts, Px's,
etc. Its to keep the troops happy and to get the re-enlistment rate up?

It sure beats the hell out of the DRAFT! !

Now that's one silly question Scooter.


You don't know either, huh....

Nah, but a mate of mine spent, is still spending actually, his whole
Naval career swaning around the world teaching Oz sailors how to

sail.

nice work, if you can get it.

Kinda heavy for a good dink.

The vanguards look like fun, The Flying Jr look like more fun, and the
15 foot Banshee's are great looking lake boats.
Would not touch one of thoses Gay 20 with a 20 foot pole.


What about the 40' Willard utility/personnel boat?

The Flying Junior is a fun boat. These look more like the club boats
rather than the class boats, no traps or spinnakers. Not quite as zippy
as the 420 but prettier and in many ways better mannered.

The Lasers look like good deals, I bet some club nearby is going to snap
them up.

aimed at you...Took a while to get enough 6 year olds to agree yo sail that
far, though..

You mean the Opti fleet alone would be enough?
