In a fog...

The bay is a 1/3 of a mile across in front of our house. It is rare that one can't see the other side...

Junior's first race

Saturday a friend and I joined 5 lead bottoms for a race to Green Island (in the Bay of Green Bay) and back. Winds started out at 12-15 but subsided as the day progressed. The course ended up being to windward to the island. Handicaps were accounted for up front, with us being next to last to start. We passed all of the boats but one before we got to the windward mark. Crews on the mono-slugs were impressed that a multihull went so well to weather. Once we got to the mark, we set the chute, with the wind backing a bit. We quickly passed the remaining boat. Needless to say, with a top speed of 15.3 knots, it was a very nice ride back. By the time we finished, the lead bottoms looked quite small on the horizon. Notice you can't even see them behind us in the video... 

Light air sailing...

Yesterday was a powerboater's dream, little to no wind. So what do we to do? We went sailing on our "new" kimosabi... It was a beautiful warm day in Door County. We were the only sailboat in the bay that was moving while sailing. When this video was taken, we actually had a little wind, sailing at times over 6 knots.

We're back in the game!

Changes are coming??

There may be a new kimosabi shortly. The little cousin of an F-31, an F-24 may be in the works. Stay tuned...
