It was a blast!  Most of the kids knew why I was doing what 
I did and got into the swing of things.  There were a couple 
of boys in one boat that took it all as a joke and were more 
trouble than they were worth.  Oh well, most of them enjoyed 
it.  (Besides, we got complimented on both how fast are 
boat was and how well we sailed.   )

It's sloop rigged.  However, the jib, at least the one I have, 
doesn't reach to the shrouds.  I think there is a larger one 
that is class-legal, but it would have to sheet inside of 
the stays.  
BTW, I have access to "Big Red" and I'm considering using it 
as 300%  (that's right!  300%) gennie.  
 DC>a set of dinghy races!
 HN> Let us know how you did!
Well, as I mentioned in a previous post, not as good as I 
thought we would, but, especially on the last race, a 
respectable showing.  I've got to work on starting strategy, 
especially timing (we didn't even have a watch, let alone 
a stop watch!).  Anyhow, on that last one, we snuck up on 
the whole fleet and gave them a scare!   
Oh well, there's need summer season to look forward too!
