[WheresTheBrakes]

I agree with all the posters..

I loved the "concept" of sailing before I started..

now that I know more about the physics and the heart and soul, I love it more..

my first sailing was on a 36 Bavaria that I crew on (while reading sailing for dummies as quick as I could) which i would recommend as a quick intro book..

now I've bought a 22 Starwind and it is so simple, and a blast to sail.. I single hand sometimes and it's magic !!

The heel takes a while to get over...as soon as you heel over way too far, you'll see what I mean... she stands up straight and points into the wind and stops..but you won't believe me until it happens a few times !!

It still blows my mind that the wind can move a big ol' boat through the water silently !
