Are you claiming the board generates more lift than your older version of the racing daggerboard with the hole for a handle? How did you reach this conclusion? Are you doing two boat testing?

I am not totally clear on how you rig either version of the Odie Rig. Are you rotating the gooseneck and rigging the sail on the opposite side of the mast. This puts the mast on the left (disturbing air on starboard), and then running the halyard down the right side of the sail (disturbs air...

The 2010 SANJL Season concluded on Saturday in beautiful Green Pond, NJ. A cool north-northwest breeze provided challenging velocity and direction shifts for the 31 competitors. Steve Manson of Rockaway, NJ continued the consistent form he displayed all season and won the regatta with scores...

Indian Harbor Yacht Club in Greenwich, CT has an outdoor bar that is made exactly as Rick describes. It is a really neat bar - perfect for a yacht club. They also have several Sunfish planters. Sadly, I do not think anyone actually sails Sunfish at the club anymore. I guess we know what...

I cannot remember the last time we had a World Championship with this many young sailors in the front. Four out of the top 5 are 22 years old or younger. There are another two juniors in the top 10 right now. It is great to see! Regardless, I hope Dave brings home the gold! On a side...
