Now that looks like fun!
I used to race boards (a Starfish) in my younger days with the Fort Smith Sailing Club though we weren't that caliber of racers it was always a blast and there were never any losers.

Frank and Martha,

Thanks for the cool picture. I take it that's the start, with everyone poised to sheet in and head up at the gun.

I still have a Sunfish. It's been the most sailing fun per dollar I've had, and the least hassle. Any sailor who hasn't yet tried a Sunfish owes it to themselves to hop on one when they get the chance.

Absolutely! The resonsiveness to the tiller, the sheet, and your body is just amazing, and in a breeze, you can get up on plane in a heartbeat! Sunfish sounds and looks dull, but it's the best pure sailing I've ever done.

You can tell that the boats in the picture are close to luffing, with the first few guys worrying that they're going to be pushed beyond the pin... Fun stuff!
