    A new Respect for Sailors of smaller Boats

    Okay, I just picked up another sailboat this weekend. From what I can find out about this boat, I'm in a pretty small group. It's a US-1. It needed a few repairs, which I have almost finished, before I could try her out. I hope to get in the water by Friday. I'll post some pictures...

    Thanks, for all of the information. Yes the environment is tough here, there is some rot in the bow area and a spot on one side. I'm thinking of repairing the boat, but I don't know if it's worth it. This thing may be something that someone would want, I'll have to ask around.....

I just bought a Laser yesterday, hull only, so I'm going to try the Sunfish rig on it and see what happens... maybe I can get by with this...

    Yes I just bought my first Sunfish two weeks ago and could not wait to "Shine that Baby Up". So here I go with the polish. My girlfriend even commented on how "Slick" the boat was and how well she cleaned-up. Well we both spent the next few hours climbing back into the boat. To tack meant...

    A new Respect for Sailors of smaller Boats

    Hi fellow sailors, I've been sailing for about twenty years now and have owned five different sailboats 25' and under. But just two weeks ago I bought a Sunfish, a nice little "Toy" boat. I never spent this much time overboard and "In The Drink" in all my 30+ years Kayaking the rivers of West...
