Thank you John; this helps greatly

Tks again; looking now !

Thanks for that ! (Damn, all this talking about sailing is making me crazy; too much talk, not enough ...) I spent the afternoon on a H34. No, not sailing, detailing.

Wow What nice answers and thoughful replies; thanks again. Tom I am in Carolina Beach (near Snow's Cut). I had stopped by the Master's event on a whim (my son and I were on the way to get the best Mexican Food in Wilmington) My goals are: 1. Get my butt back into sailing after...

I have a few ideas in mind; I want fast, I want to race and I want to have fun I'm looking at Lasers and Hobie 16's at the moment.

Thanks for the replies; I am just spongin as much info as possible right now; I have many questions on many boats and feel that you sailors can actually give the best opinions on them.

Designed for a doublehanded crew; is this an official class or merely a family outing ? What are your thoughts on the 2 ? Thanks in advance ! :)

Thanks again Hoffy I'm super stoked about this. I just cannot wait to get on the water; aggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Stay tuned !

That sounds awesome and is exactly the vision I am seeing ! :cool: :)

Thank you Hoffy. I also want to acknowledge everyones friendliness. It is unusal posting new qustions in forums (my interests are also filmmaking and baseball) to receive such pleasant replies. :)

Thank you for these replies, they are very helpful. I went down today to talk to some sailors in Wrightsville Beach (a Masters event) and they were very kind and generous with their time (It was after the race and the beer was flowing) I am leaning towards the Laser at this time for reasons...

I am a noob to the racing dinghy concept and am just starting to get my feet wet (pun) and I have a question for the devoted Laser racers Why the Laser ? Why not the Snipe ? The Lighting ? The Skiff ? What boats are the fastest ? Can I get that information in a list by order ? Tks in...

Thank you Merrily; sounds like practical advice ! (I guess the 18 ft Skiff is out of the question) :eek:

OMG http://www.sailing.org/classes/classlist.asp?MenuID=d1v`GNcDgMI/qst7vTvONMY12`V I've opened Pandora's box .

Hi Ian Well (possibly in ignorance), my initial thoughts were: How cool would it be for my son and I to be on the same boat, racing. That's about as simple as I got ( :D :p )

Thanks you; I am looking at this option and appreciate your advice I feel a bit silly; but have just realized there are more than one class and type of 'racing/sailing dinghy' Let me ask yall' this ? Why the Laser over the other options ?

Thank you for such a quick reply (I am now surfing that link!)

Hello I'll try and make this short and sweet. I am 37 and have developed a new interest in Laser sailing (that stemmed from making plans to get my 7 year old active in the sport). Except, I have limited sailing experience myself I taught myself on a 22' Capri many years ago; going in...
