    Too hot to sail...

    I don't know about you guys, but it has been too hot to sail lately (even if I wasn't going to school and working on the weekends and really had the time to go).

    Replacing the centerboard gasket...

    Texas Capri 14.2 sailors

    Is anyone else here involved in racing and/or recreational sailing the 14.2 in Texas? I live near San Antonio, and so far, I have sailed at Canyon Lake and Lake Travis. My son and I have been practicing, and we plan to start participating in the Texas Centerboard Circuit. I would love to...
