welcome aboard! maybe someday you can inform me on racing...I race, well try to. But, for very long distances at a time,without a finish point...and sold every spinnaker and gear I ever got with my boats...I have a very old yacht, and smoke the competition to mexico, on a regular basis...I never enter, but, I always win.. when everyone else is asleep, or hove-to, I am still going...maybe you could show me how to get more speed out of my atkins... not the fastest rig. gaff rigged,3 headsail ketch..fair winds, and calm seas!

 

Well you know what they say- Big boats get all the glory but the small boats make the sailor.

I used to be a keelboat cruiser, but I recently became a dinghy racer. You be surprised how much keen rig tension and sail trim adjustments will help. For us it makes the difference of pointing 10 degrees higher in the puffs and sailing a knot faster in the lulls.

I would love to take a cruise to Mexico though. I've been looking at Panama and Costa Rica even.

Hey Captain Nikko & Lola-


Post your schedule of shows in the events section.  We'd love to come out and see your group perform sometime.
