It was beautiful and we got back in before the rains. There were only about a half dozen people on that half mile of stretch of beach around Big Carlos Pass. Ahhhhhhh. The money crunch is keeping the amateurs at home. It's fun to go when there are not a lot of Scarabs or pickle fork drag boats. Steve |

... Is everyone boating? Low number of posts. Or maybe I've killfiled everyone ............... ;-) Hope to get on my Lund this week and do some work and catch some rainbows. Steve Ok, so I wasn't on a boat, but I was near the water and saw a bunch of boats. I have a question about one I saw. It was a sailboat with only one mast. It was not small... probably 35 or 40 feet long. It was strange for a couple of reasons. First, the only mast didn't have any wires holding it up, at least none I could see, but it was a huge (thick) mast. Second, the mast was not in the "normal" position. It was really far forward, almost to the bow. Third, and the truly strange, it looked like a big windsurfer. I used to windsurf, so I know what that looks like. It had two booms in a bow shape wrapped around the mast and going back to the cockpit. So, what is it? Is this a normal sailboat? Sorry if this is dumb question. -- Nom=de=Plume |

Is that what you saw? Hmmm... well the "unstayed" sounds right, along with the mast, but I can't seem to find one that has two booms. The only pics I saw were either a normal looking boom or everything was covered up. It was interesting to watch. He pointed it into the wind, dropped the sail, which basically pancaked itself, then he turned on the engine. The sail looked really slick... kind of shiney, not like regular material. I tried to get over to the berth to ask him, but the gate was locked. -- Nom=de=Plume |
