I Love Sailing

As my user name implies I AM a sailor. I have sailed for over forty years and I own several boats, a keelboat and a high speed hydrofoil. We live on board the keelboat in the summers at an island based club. I maintain and repair the boats pretty much myself and I am rather good at it. I have never decided what I liked more, maintaining / improving the boats or sailing them - there is simply not much about it that I don't like. It is on the boats that I am most at home.

I'm so jealous of your Trifoiler. I watched a few YouTube vids, I must have one! I have a big sheltered bay to play in almost to myself, so there would be room for it to stretch its legs and no risk of collisions.

I'm a speed junkie and have thought about buying an iceboat, but the lakes here are not reliably frozen. There is a Zen about the slow pace of keelboats, and I think they teach you important lessons in patience, but for me it gets to be a drag and I much prefer multihulls. Adding foils would take it to the next level.

Thanks very much for your description, that sounds like my kind of thing :)
