    Best Buoyancy Aid for Dinghy and Sport Boat Racing

    I like my Zhik, but have type III"s also. Best answer to the Coasties or the regatta chair is to wear the Zhik while you have a inflatable waist belt in the locker on the boat. USCG says it just needs to be aboard, not necessarily on..

    Spin Out

    Speed is your friend, flat is best, if no kite up and you have a jib, leave it backwinded coming out of gybe. It will help keep the bow down

    This is getting ridiculous. Another mass shooting

    I heard 760 rounds were fired by LE during the shootout... I would guess that something "accessed their minds", possibly more than once... "Nice shooting Tex!" And no collateral damage, job well done I say..

    Coach to Competitor ratio

    Let's drop the games out of this discussion for a moment. I feel there are FAR TOO MANY coach boats out for weekend events.. I have seen 15+ in LB on many occasions.. You want to talk about the cost of sailing these days? I feel this has become a major impact.. Who is paying for these $80K...

    Viper NA's in Bermuda 2016
