I've got you beat for sure...I've sailed with Maxprop,

phone conversations with Haggie, and have lively
Messenger
conversations with another personage of venerableness.
There are several others I've met over the past years
who
no longer post here for oner reason or the other. And
Dawn Riley wrote me a letter. I have been truly
blessed.

Aw, shucks...

hurricane while hanging off a pylon...that's true
friendship!

but he chickened out.

Don't know anyone famous who sails, most of my friends that sail are
imfamous and borderline crazy, not unlike those that post here.


Who you callin' "borderline"!!

I was fortunate enough years ago on a delivery to be forced to stop in
Ft. Lauderdale on one of the leg finishes for the Whitbread. One boat
was there when we got there, two came in while we were still there and
we saw one finish when we left to complete our trip. Met a bunch of
the crewmembers. Those guys party pretty good between legs.


You might want to re-phrase that last , Frank.....

Awesome to watch those boats sail, isn't it? They are so
stripped and powerful. It's a very different kind of vessel,
with a very different look, than traditional sailboats.

In 2004 there were several of them on display at the St. Francis Yacht Club
in San Francisco over the holiday season. The public was invited to check
them out for a small donation to the club, of course. We spent an hour
looking them over, just before two of them went out for some impromptu match
racing. Watching them scream by on a broad reach at what looked to be
20kts. or so is something you have to see to believe. They are just
incredibly fast. With the wave and sea conditions that day on SF Bay, I
doubt if most powerboats could have stayed with them without tearing
themselves apart. Awesome.
