    6 mph wind

    thanks. I agree that being out in very light winds is quite enjoyable. Are there any secrets to get as much out of a light breeze as possible?

    6 mph wind

    Many thanks for continuing the info. I sailed on Warren lake early in the summer and moved my boat to Terry Lake in the last month - its a bit bigger and nearer a canyon so seems to catch a bit more wind. Would appreciate hearing secrets to sailing in very low wind speeds.

    6 mph wind

    awesome info - - - I can only too easily relate to the WY wind guage - the others will ultimately prove more useful. Am on Warren Lake, and will follow leads you have provided. Have been involved with wildland fire fighting for many years and actually wondered about getting a little spot...

    Wheeled Hand Cart for Sunfish?

    I just purchased a sunfish, and will keep it on a lake where everyone pulls their boats out and up the shore to an area when they can be locked to a chain. I need to build a set of wheels on a little cradle that I can slip under the boat and to which I can strap the boat on, so I can pull her...

    Another new sailor

    I've just purchased my first sailboat - an older, but seemingly quite well maintained Alcort Sunfish. A couple of questions. While I will look for someone who can give me a lesson or two, I know I'll be out on it shortly. Any website links or books you would recommend to help me get started...
