Hi

I was wondering if there are members here who like to sail..for competition or pleasure.
Here are a few pictures ..on a small boat..😀

Some boats have clever, funny or racy names. I saw this boat yesterday and it has to be the best boat name I’ve ever seen 😁

The Aqua Terra's natural element 😀

Warning, pic heavy😀
I'm very much a passionate sailor, for 48years or there abouts, Race and cruse, used to race my own boat, a Hanse 371

But that got too expensive so sold up and bought a cruiser, a traditional style swedish vindo 32. Lots of gentle cruising around the SW coast of Ireland.

I still get to scratch the racing itch though, on a good friends Elan333

And because this is a watch forum, sailing, my SMP300's natural element

Boats are like watches in that you can never have enough pictures...

Work has me on hundreds of yachts from 20ft to 200ft
Mostly alongside with the occasional remote offshore. Did go on a tender once out to a yacht that was worth a cool million. ( that was the tender was worth a million not the yacht 😗 )

Also enjoy crewing on my friends Corsair 24 (Lake Michigan) and 28(Biscayne Bay)

Used to dinghy race for years. Fell back to cruiser racing around Dublin. Now limited to cruising around Ireland and Scotland

had to stop racing when they changed the count down from the old 10 min/5 min

I do a little sailing on the bay. Usually a Made in Santa Cruz type boat. Express 27 currently, and do a bit of Moore 24 also. We host the nationals here, fun to watch but I don’t participate. I’m more of a beer-car regatta type racer. 😎
