Heck, just keeping a 505 on the water is a fair amount of work...bump those foils into something and well, yep, you'll be mechanical for sure.

The earth will bury us all in the end

Snark: the Suzuki Violin of Sailing :-D

In the 70s I was racing a GP-14 and the 16 and the Prindle were basically brand new. The 18 was absolutely new. They all sailed circles around us unless the breeze was under 4 kts. This picture makes me nostalgic for those days on the PA lakes.

Snark sighted in the wild in CT yesterday:

Strawberry Mansion Bridge. Believe it or not, I've sailed both a Flying Dutchman and a 505 on the exact stretch of water. I soloed first time ever there too--on a rented sunfish. Never forget that slushing sound when she got up on a plane.

Love that Hot Rod Lincoln. The first time I heard that I was with my Grandmother. She also loved "Boy Named Sue" by the inimitable Johnny. She even made a 78 with her cousin when she was a teenager in the teens--we played THAT on the Victrola.

The question remains, what about the Little Deuce Coupe?
