I was with some buddies today and saw a father and son trying to sail a c14, but they could not get the boat up wind. They did have a trolling motor on board and got back upwind of their starting point and then tried again. When they tried to sail again we noticed no center board down and that the jib had only one sheet going to starboard. They went mostly sideways in the ten knot breeze.
My question, I am not familiar with the c14 centerboard, did they forget to bring it or did they forget to deploy it (because it is not removable?)?
And, if I see them again do you kind sailors think I might ought to give some lessons from a sailor of 32 years or look for a bargin on a boat.
