They make it look like the big tri is faster but the board is the
fastest craft out there. Been there, done that! My boardsailing record
is 43mph. That's fifteen years ago. Clocked on police radar. F2 Bullit
sinker, Da Kine split foil, high aspect ratio skeg, Da Kine seat
harness, 7.5 m2 Mylar RAF, 35knot off-shore wind, flat water off a
causeway, skinsuit, body weight 180lbs. NOBODY, and I say it again,
NOBODY here but myself is man enough to handle a 7.5 square meter sail
in a 35 knot wind. NOBODY!

That is truly impressive... and you gave it all up for a Swan 68.
How can you live with yourself?

Not necessarily. Ever heard of YPE?

7.5m? that's a wimpy sail. When was the last time you flew a 400+
square foot spinnaker in 35 knot winds?

He's the only person that will live with him. "Wilbur" can't even get
a date with Rosie Palm

BTW for the record, I have sailed windsurfers in 30+ knot winds and I
bet some of the other regulars have too. But then some of us have also
sailed fast monohulls, multis, etc etc, which "Wilbur" has never done.
But then, ASA seems to attract more than it's share of empty-headed
blow hards.
