how nice is your boat

Not me, not the exact same boat but that's the what I sail.



Gotta show other people how to have fun. It's my destiny.
Nice, there is an annual rigatta of Hobie cats near me. It's meant to be fun but the competion is tough, smack talking, excuses and bragging are a standard.

Not a Hobie. It's called a Raptor 16 made by a company that isn't around anymore.

My boat doesn't have the sail area of a Cat or a jib and isn't as fast as a similar sized Cat. Then again, it's fast and being that close to the water feels even more so. The boat uses a foil to hold the boat down on starboard tack instead of shifting weight. It also only weighs 90 pounds.

I take it out for the fun of sailing but also fish from it and I dive from it.. Racing is what people do who don't know how to relax. That said, I've done some racing. The parties after the racing is done are the best.

I liked my boat but I found that the old adage that a boat owner only smiles twice, once when they buy it and once when they sell it was pretty accurate.
Fuck ya it’s true lol. The gas bill was killing me in my big one (avatar), glad it’s gone, kept the bass fishing boat though ;). D3EA4A11-F8F2-44D2-9F66-228FEB2710F8.jpeg
