"If a man must be obsessed by something, I suppose a boat is as good as anything, and perhaps a bit better than most. A small sailing craft is not only beautiful, it is seductive and full of strange promise and the hint of trouble." - From The Sea and The Wind That Blows E. B. White -- 1899-1985" Meet with other sailing enthusiasts at our Meetup events, attend sailing education seminars, share stories, find skippers, find crew, and go sailing!!  Last year many members became crew on competitive …

Windrafting is a new sport (see www.windrafting.com). Imagine sledding on water, prone, facing the waves. The Windraft uses a foot-operated rudder and has an outrigger fitted with pontoons for hiking out against the forces of the wind. That puts you face-forward leaning out over the water in higher winds. The Windraft is also easy to learn. In fact it is the most intuitive way to learn sailing, because your body naturally leans with the wind into your steer. I am the originator of the Windraft a …
