Sailing!
Stay tuned for pictures and other stuff relating to the latest in a long
line of interests, sailing. In the fall of 2007, I bought a little ten year
old, 21 foot "one-design" sloop rigged sailboat called an
Ultimate-20. After spending a long winter fixing her up we had nothing
but fun learning how to sail and race through the summer of 2008.
I'm hooked! 8^)
Home-made "tree based" hoist.
(The curse of being an engineer...) 8^)
Dropping the keel. (Well, actually lifting the boat off of it.)
I hear this boat really flies!
"A boat in port is safe. But that is not what boats are made for."
After our first race. "We came this close to taking second!"
Just another fun day of sailing.
Sailing lesson number #732! 8^) (Spud Cup, 2008)
Nicole and I coming in under sail after 5 highly educational high wind races
in the Spud Cup. Nothing scares us now!
Skipper and crew. "We survived!"
My friend Chris single handing his U20 "Black Sheep" on the last day
of summer, 2008.
Could you ever get tired of looking at pictures of sails?!
Stay tuned for more sailing stuff!
