I spent the weekend racing boats with my daughter and now it's Monday and I am working and that is lame.

That is all
* video is not actually from the racing this weekend, it is from practice beforehand.

Well at least you were sailing! What is that? looks like a a blast.

It's a Melges 15.

How does it compare to a Laser II or 470 ?
foilrider@reddit (OP)
It's newer and more comfortable and probably easier to sail. It should be faster than an laser 2 and slower than a 470. It has no trapeze.

Was out on my Hobie 18 yesterday, same feeling about returning to work.

It's very hard to have a bad day on a Hobie 18. I had one for years.

I’m on day 1 of 5 weeks off to go sailing. Unfortunately feeling overwhelmed by all the remaining prep that needs to be done. Hope to get underway by Wednesday.

Coeur d'Alene?

The video is from the Columbia River Gorge, but the regatta this weekend was in Coeur d'Alene.

You and your daughter are living life right and winning at parent-offspring relationships!

How did you get your speedboat motor to be so silent?

I had my first run this saturday for the season. The winds picked up a little bitt much on my way back in. Was fighting to get my Capri 14.2 back to dock. BUT! It was sailing, blood pumping!. adrenaline flowing!
