Just curious how many of you out there sail, and what you have. Be sure to share some pics.



I have a Tartan 33 and race on a Lazer 28. Hopefully will have pictures soon...

I raced in a venturing ship during HS. We had a fleet of 5 Thistles, a pair of Cat 22's, and a Prindle 17.

Damn you go big. We are just on Lake Erie so anything over 40 gets kinda dumb to own.

We are actually small, the boat rating is in between race and cruising classes, but ends up in cruising. The boat is irc rule breaker, so we do pretty well.

I love sailing. So much fun in a storm. Most fun I've had was my cousins lazer out on lake ontario. My gparents have a cottage on litttle sodus bay. We've taken the lazer out in some crazy swells. So much fun leaning in a little boat flying over some huge waves.

I'm planning on getting super into sailing this summer.  So far I've only sailed a small dinghy, but I joined my university's sailing club (2nd biggest one in the nation behind the navy, which doesn't really count) so I plan on sailing lazers and maybe get into a 420 this year.  Already been out once this year can't wait for it to be nice out all the time.

First 37.5 is a pretty sick boat for a Bend-in-two company. Or as my racing buddy calls them Bena-slow. I would still take a 37.5. Plus certainly horray for Kirby 25. We have one at my work to mess around on.

MC, C boat, hobie 16, laser and 2 butterflys.

My yacht club lets us use their 420s, fj, and jy that i also compete in.


My most comptetive boats are the MC and laser, I won mc junior nationals and took 7th at the laser open in wisconsin.

I also won butterfly nationals but that boat is so boring

I used to race 420's in HS and for the local club in the summer. fleet, match, team all of it. My pops has a catalina 22 we race for the wednsday nighters down at the club and i go out any chance i get on anything else. i really prefer dingy racing to keelboat racing though. We need to revive the sailing cult or just start a new one!
