Anyone know what kind of boat has a red star on the sails? 20 something
footer?
Man they can point high!


Did it look like this?

The it was a Star. Very cool boats, they rule in light air
despite the lack of a spinnaker.

They're lots of fun to sail althought the big main and
noodly mast give them some unusual habits compared to other
boats.

Cool looking boats Doug.

Question, I've never flown a spinnaker, looked at similar sized boats
last night that were flying spinnakers. Some had spinnaker poles, some
did not.

Now my bow is to small for anyone to stand and attach a pole, do the
small boats have a block and tackle that pull the pole up to the mast?.
or do they just keep the pole attached to the mast?

What I can not understand is why there are ZERO skiffs here. I've never
seen a skiff here in Texas...ever .....and we have a huge concentration
of boats here.

A nice skiff would leave everything on the lake way behind.
