There is a sailboat club at our local marina. Over the weekend they approached the guy who runs the marina to complain about the price of fuel at the gas dock. You cannot make this stuff up...

How many sailboters does it take to change a lightbulb?















None, it's cheaper to sit in the dark......

That boat is nothing compared to John Cusack's boat in One Crazy Summer.

anyone remember it?

[MacGyver]

Cool. That sailboat looks like it's on plane........

I didn't blow boats could even plane. Aren't they displacement hulls?

most sailboats cannot plane, however, this is not really a sailboat, it is more of a flatbottom with rounded sides with a retractable center board. a fixed keel sailboat could never do that, well, maybe, if you had a 1075! now that would be interesting to see

hobie 33's melges 30's flying tigers, mum's, volvo 70's gl 70's



The earliest documented planing sailboat was a proa built in 1898 by Commodore Ralph Munroe; it was capable of speeds of more than twice the hull speed

[Perlmudder]

those are fast boats, but the hobbie 33 and the melges are not fixed keel boats. still insane how fast they are. a friend of mine lives in the same building as a doyle sail rep, and this guy has keys to every sailboat in the area. so they get to booze cruise on a mumm 30. found this and thought it was pretty coolhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFk88_2_Y84 .

[phragle]

hobie 33 was available as a fixed keel and retractable.

In 1978 I owned an 18ft hobie cat and went out in the bay at Miami in small craft warnings. I had the two guys that sold the boat to me from the hobie store running the boat and I was only 145lbs at the time and I skied on two ski's back and forth in front of the rickenbacker causeway, I have two pictures in my scrap book but no way to post them. People thought we were nuts.

I am feeling very uncomfortable with all this blow boat talk. You guys know way to much about this stuff!

[Sea-Dated]
