When I was a kid and raced 470's we had a lot of friends with Hobbies 14 and 16 and one had an 18 with dagger boards.
We used to race and spend countless summer days in a sand atol that doesn't exist anymore due to "extremely well planned coastal erosion politics by some idiotic ridiculous loser governments" we had.
We allways had a blast we used to do water ski with the 18 and our favorite was the "marines landing" where you would come in fast into the sand with one float in the air, and dry the boat on one hull. Then once stopped, gently release the main and land...
We used to get pretty girls as girlfriends then...they preferd us to the other kids whose sport was soccer
Good memories...thanks
