[QUOTE="richg99, post: 261625, member: 4376"] Sailing can be great fun...and...it is something you can do when the wind is up and fishing isn't in the cards. I've owned a number of sailboats over the years. Two 27 ft Catalina's topped off the fleet. As I write this, I am planning on adding a sail to my recent fleet addition of a MANTA 10 ft. kayak. I put a mast step on Friday, and tried a small home-made sail. Bad design and too little sail caused poor results. But, more old sheets and lots of brass grommets... and I'll have her up and moving along soon, I think. Your little boat is the very size that can be the most fun. Big ones get to be boring. Given any kind of breeze at all, there won't be any boring moments in your new found sailing career. Sailing is kind of intuitive, but lessons won't hurt a bit. regards, Rich [/QUOTE]
