m4tty 514 Report post Posted August 3, 2011 Well,,, it has to be sailing for me;)Second time out by myself (inland man made salt water lake) and both times I stayed dry,,, didn't capsize!!!!Mind you there was f'all wind on both occasions;)I've sailed since birth noz. I've got a mirror dinghy and a small 23' yacht which isn't finished yet. Think you said other day you went out in a topper or laser? Very nippy fun boats. Try an international canoe lol they are half underwater when still and when they get going they rise up to normal level. When I was about 8 or 9 I sailed the mirror dinghy round the isle of Sheppey (about 20 miles I believe) to raise money for the RNLI and we got a day out on the lifeboats. Great fun and luckily only time I've ever been on a lifeboat. Were sailing to isle of Wight from Brighton in a few weeks, that'll be good fun 4 adults and 3 kids on a 26' catamaran. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
revjames 848 Report post Posted August 3, 2011 Well Matty, I was brought up on an island in North Wales and my Dad had a couple of catamarans - 21' the biggest one. Great fun, we were always out on it. When I return to N wales I intend to get a sailing boat of some sort 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
