I used to sail 420's and Lasers, but haven't raced in a few years.  Once I move out of CO I'll be back near some water and sailing again

i sailed when i was like 8, decided i didnt like it. i still go out ocasionally on family friend's boats because my parents used to be serious sailors. if I wasnt into skiing i'd be the biggest dissapointment child lol.

Yeah, 420s or lasers? My 420 sail number is 6341 and my laser is 197271. I'll probably do laser radials at buzzards and nationals and north Americans in 420s, but nationals are in illionois which is pretty far away

used to sail 420's when I was younger and have been known to sail a 47 foot sail boat through a small hurricane in the caribbean when i was in fourth grade. I miss sailing, haven't done it in a long time.
