Too much to list here however I can at least update some highlights of late.
I've been sailing F18 catamarans recently and collecting Vintage International 14's.
More on the old woody 14's later.
Last week we sailed an F18 regatta in SF Bay- Berkley Circle. I've sailed 14's there plenty of times but never cats. I'm new to multi-hulls and while there are many similarities to skiffs, there are just as many differences as well. The F18 is a raw powerful boat while the I14 is very technical.
Each compliment themselves. Sailing the F18 in over 25 knots sustained is a challenge but doable. Bear-aways and capsizing are a dramatic event since the boat s bigger than what I am used to, has no t-foils, and tend to keep sailing sideways at 4 knots when on their sides..
These things are a riot in breeze. Here is our Zebra Phantom at the SFYC Multi-hull Championship taking our 1st multi-hull regatta win. Great photos courtesy of Cherie.
