Any workout that uses the target muscles with alot of light weights. One good one for you upperbody is hold a bag of dogfood while doing situps, or just ALOT of situps. Also anything that weighs about 10-15 lbs is good for curls. One good weight exersise is lie down on a couch with about a...

That doesn't seem like enough work for me. I do crew (rowing)and our coach makes us work out alot. We run 3 miles for a warm up (about45 min.) and then go into the weight room. Find your max weight and take 2 bars off, usually about 20 lbs. Doing this gives you strength but not enough mass...

If the 95 is in mint condition then it could keep up but I think the 05 would be faster in the end.

I can straight leg it for a whole race but I usually dont have to nor do I like to.

I think if you are in shape enough you cant be too big. I'm 150 and not quite enough for a radial in heavy air.

Yeah sunsail wont take it from you. I capsized in a radial (no I wont say how many times but let me assure you that it was more than 2) and no one minded.

They let almost anyone out if they said they could handel it. I was a little overconfident on my first day and took out a full rig in15-20 and I couldn't handel it so I camein got a radial and went back out. And yes most of the guests are brits. Wavedancer, who was working there when you...

man that sucks, my ols reply got deleted!!!!:( Ok here we go again, the protected area was pretty big 1km out and 2kms across. Yeah I've been to the bitterend but sunsail was much better and MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH...

Man that was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It blew 20-25 every day except monday (30-35) I was very impressed with myself for sailing a radial in that since I onlyn weigh 140lbs.Anyone even considering a vacatiuon got to Sunsail on antigua. It is a great facility and any sailor would love...

If its just a gel coat scrach then there is a product called "Scrach and Shine" or something like that and it is very easy to use, just clean the area, sand and apply. Itdries as smooth as you can put it on and is easily sandable. Any well stocked ships store should carry something along those...

Everyone I've seen uses a clew tie down

Also with me I live on the hudson so alot of the tide books arent exact. Here the tide change close to shore first so to check if there is a drift just get a bearing on a land point and sail straight. If you dont end up facing the same point and never changed course then you are drifting. The...

I sail 420s very competitivly (sp) and for us 3 feet to leeward is close but not unavoidable. Also in the situaton you described (pig in the middle) I would let the LW boat pass me BUT in a very controlled manner. Head up so you lose some speed but also get to WW then when he passes you you...

Now I hate to say it but I always love reading about things I cant afford so for me my favorite is Seahorse. It's relly expensive but hey I can always dream right??? Either way it also always has some of the latestdinghy stuff to. By the way for all you Yanks over here look at Sail. It is a...

If you take a clear overcoat over the paint it would be faster and last longer
