saw one those folding trimarans this morning on the Indian River near the

There was barely enough wind to ripple the water but those things are so
light the boat was making probably 4-5 kts. He (or she) was definitely going
faster than the wind speed on a reach.

Wish I'd seen that. I'm thinking more and more that I'd go for a tri
over a Mac 26. Have to get in shape though. There's another tri
that's a little slower than the Farriers but has other advantages.
Can't remember the brand now.
But unless I get off my ass and start exercising, it'll be a Carolina
Skiff. If I can get over the gunnels without too much huffing and
puffing.
