I race a 12ft sailing dinghy on the other side of the world at club level. Or at least I did until the UK government decided there was too much risk of me getting COVID doing it. I just watch these guys and wonder HTH do they do it. Andy |

Or at least I did until the UK government decided there was too much risk of me getting COVID doing it. No ****! Welllll, I guess them carnivorous particles can live a long time in your land down under !! I race a 12ft sailing dinghy on the other side of the world at club level. I live in the Puget Sound area of Washington State, USA. Neat! I have a little 9'6" Nutshell Pram that has a Balanced Lug sail. By luck rather than intent, in 2010 we bought a house on a little 5 acre lake. So,,,,, first came a used canoe. Then I found that pram for only $700. So I take it out under sail over a dozen times a year. and it's also good as a row boat. Once a year we go to Tampa Bay area in Florida. I've rented a Hobie Wave (14 foot?) there 3 times. That is quite a little rocket also. I rent it out of https://www.clearwatercommunitysailing.org/ If you click on "Boat Rentals", it has pictures. Do you own your 12'er? Haul it on a trailer? Is there a picture online? I just watch these guys and wonder HTH do they do it. Andy Best wishes to you. |

The boat: https://www.solosailing.org.uk/ will tell you more than I could. Andy Neat. So only the one sail, and it's triangular. So the sail is kind of same as Hobie Cat. Looks like all sailors are wearing wet-suits. And lots of splashing. So you get wet a lot? Do you ever go out with a passenger? I take it it is all in salt water? How far out do you go? How many months a year do you do it? Mine can be transported in the back of my pick-up. And then wheeled from parking lot to boat ramp with the 'shore wheels'. A couple of years ago the wife helped me and we went down to Sand Point (see similar at nearby: https://www.sailsandpoint.org/ ) and launched, and sailed across Lake Washington to near Kirkland and back. Besides our lake, I have also sailed at Lake Ballinger. I had contemplated sailing it on Puget Sound, but an experience of capsizing last year kind of kills that plan. |
