Stus-List Re: olympics
Some boats prefer higher winds. The windsurfer is like that. They aren't much fun in less than 15 knots. But in 15 to 30, you need to wear a harness and put your feet in footstraps. Then it's really fun to blaze around passing most any other sail boats and some motor boats and it is much less effort because you use the power of the wind. I just started learning to "wing" surf and have a new board, a wing and a foil, made for this new sport, called "wing foiling". It is more efficient sailing, using smaller sails, no harness, and is more portable than windsurfing or kiteboarding. But it is a sport dependant on balance, so not for everyone.

My parents put me in sailing lessons when I was 7 (Wet Pants Sailing, Sayville, NY).My instructor was a Finn sailor. As a treat at the end of the summer, he took me out on his Finn. I wanted one ever since. It took me 40 years, but I finally got one ( 11 years ago). No fleets around here. I have been sailing bigger boats now, but once or twice a summer, I just have to get wet and take the finn out on a good windy day. Both boats are fun to sail, and though I have only had the 35mk3 in the water less than 2 months, both are technical to sail well and get the most out of them.

I suppose the Finn is a great boat to sail. Do you have some experience with Finns? I started with a Sunfish but didn't like having to find someone to help me lift it onto my car's roof racks as she's too heavy for one person. I later got a 22' sloop that I kept in a boatslip. Then I got into windsurfing and enjoyed the portability of a board that weighs under twenty pounds. Sold the sloop and started exploring different beaches with our windsurfers. After fifteen years, I got our C 34R and got back into "sitdown" sailing. Initially we cruised her, then I raced with crew and more recently I set her up to singlehand and cruise and race her that way. She's a lot of fun.

It is a little sad that this will be the last Olympics for the Finn.
