Look at Grand Lake Yacht Club at Grand Lake NW OK. I am in Denver but daughter lives in NW ARK so I am always looking for sailing venues. They look to have a good sailing program and race ILCA/Lasers.

The rudder hardware reminds me of a vintage Sunfish I acquired through a "yard find". Complete overhaul on it; bottom paint, cockpit, buffed out the deck to its original green with which racing stripe. Sanded and re-stained rudder, center board. New sail and rigging. The rudder hardware was...

Thanks, Bassbug. I will mark it in the calendar.

Your pics show a dolly. Is that included along with the trailer ? Would like to learn more about it since you have owned it and perhaps tack a look in the near future. Thanks

Thanks monkey_feet. I will let you know if I make it to Dallas. Appreciate the invite. My linked in attached linkedin.com/in/jonericlindquist. Happy Holidays, Eric

Thanks, Monkey-feet. Due to a schedule conflict I was not able to come down to the Wurstfest where I thought I could check out the Aero given the number of boats in the area. I have yet to see one in person as not any I can find in CO. The ILCA fleet here seems to be dwindling in participation...

Thanks, DWD. Great info. I share similar sentiments. The Aero looks like a pretty cool boat but there are more ILCA's in our area of the country. We bought a Sunfish this summer so our grandkids can learn to sail (had an amazing end of season last weekend here in Denver) so I raced it some this...

Thanks, Torrid. Appreciate the info. Cheers !

Thanks, Wavedancer. Appreciate your feedback. More than likely I will go with a Laser as there are more in Colorado racing. Despite there being a number of Sunfish in the state no one races them so in any regatta I am portsmouth with a mis-mash of boats. Besides we picked up a Sunfish for the...

Has anyone on the board moved into an RS Aero and if so; (1) your impression of the boat (2) is a fleet building within close proximity so you can class race. (3) If new where did you buy your boat from and would you recommend them. (4) was it shipped to you and if so did that work ok. Reason...

Not sure the actual speed but in a broad reach planing skipping across the whitecaps on the edge of disaster was quite a ride. Spent about 4 hours on the water that day. Was too fun to come in but exhausted from hanging on and hiking !

I sailed on a Tornado a few summers back in NH. Pretty sure we were clocking 30 knts +. I was flying the trap and getting blasted by the spray. Skipper said was the fastest he'd been on it in a long time. We were definitely haul'n some mail. Great fun.

Thanks, drop me a note when you come down Chatfield and perhaps I can bring my Sunfish over and go for a sail. Chatfield is about 15 mins from home. Really trying to get some traction with CO Sunfish folks so we can get some fleet racing in. Cheers

Thanks, that could work. We were looking for one of the last two weeks of July which is our typical timeframe to vacation in the area. We typically go the the Lake Sunapee but with the expanding grandkid crew we need a bigger place which seem to be more prevalent at Winnie. Headcount is 5 adults...

Wanted to reach out to the community. A few weeks back there was a post from someone that lives in or around Wolfeboro, NH. Planning a family vacation for next summer at Lake Winnie and curious if there is a place to rent a Sunfish for the week. We sail a Sunfish and J22 here in CO but will be...
