I use to sail sunfish

What do sailboats and race cars have in common?

One sneeze could cost you the entire race

U CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH BOAT PORN! BBY is that U in the hatch? AKTUNG overrides the auto tiller Off Mare Island's North San Frncisco Bay-Carquinez Strait. The multi-line 'wuzzle' on the port cleat is the jib sheet and the 'Jibe 'preventer' line from the bow cleat to the boom end...A new install to keep the boom from snapping over in shifty-dicey aft El Niño winds! I'm wearing a hardshell plastic skullcap under the hat in case I don't duck in time. At $5.00, a cheap investment considering boom-hits have killed 10 sailors this year alone.

Oh, it's real alright. In 1987 a naval architect designed the closest-obtainable recreation of a Greek trireme. Built using original methods, Olympias was an amazing accomplishment, and served as a test bed to find out just what those ships were capable of.

Hi Aktungbby, Im helming.
Had a few cracks on the head myself, at 7 1/2 inch diameter and 27 foot long our boom does have the potential to ruin your day, fortunately it doesn't tend to whip about too much.
Bert.
