What an adventure! What a weekend! I wanted to go sailing in Tampa, and Carrie (my wife) couldn’t make it, so I took the opportunity to invite an old friend to join in on the fun. RJ and I had not seen each other in ten years, but it was like no time had passed […]

The Most Bang For Your buck
Again, I’m not one for giving unsolicited advice, but you don’t have to read this. I’m just trying to add value to our website. If you asked me what one thing can be done to best improve my results sailing I would tell you stretching. Stretching before sailing not only prevents injuries, but it gets […]
All About Tillers
Whether you day sail or race there’s a good possibility that your tiller won’t last forever. Unless you bought your boat new and listened to us when we told you to keep it on the bow bag, and resting on the centerboard drum off the floor in the bow. As well as keep Vaseline on […]
The Calm Before the Storm
Two posts in two days. This is a new record. However, I’ve been hit with a premonition that must be shared. We have not been able to get many videos done this year. The drone quit working and the cameras are out dated. Furthermore, a good production takes time, planning and good weather. Twice this […]

Maiden Voyage
Florida remains one of our hottest markets, pun intended. The Double Deck Trailer made her maiden voyage in mid February. Two new boats were delivered. Everyone was happy with their new boat, and Tyler got to sail one of the old boats that the factory is taking in on trade. He did not have time […]
Mid Winters Blooper
As promised in my post from Mid Winters, here is the short blooper video. If this works, then should we start start video blogging?
The Tea Party
Thanks to Boston Sails for donating this tea party trophy, probably back in 1960. Carrie and I won it last year and Bill and I won it this year, despite our best efforts. We were winning the regatta several times in the last race. Let me start from the beginning. Leaving home was bitter sweet […]
Sailing at Different Venues
We are blessed in many ways with our job and one of the greatest blessings we have is to meet the wonderful people all over the country who sail Flying Scots. I recently had the pleasure of delivering a new Flying Scot to a wonderful couple – Steve and Barb Kramer and I would like […]
