Any sailors here?

I sold my Flying Scot in 2002 to help with the down payment on the house, and I miss it!

When I get time. The Hobie needs work just like everything else.... AND the kids are too little for it now. Besides, it isn't worth selling to help on the down payment on a car much less a house.

I lucked out...bought my FS about 1991 or so, paid $5500. Sailed it hard 'til about 2000, then it sat for a couple of years, and I sold it when we built the house, and got $5000 for it. I was really glad to sell it...and get what I did for it (I bought it at a steal, sold it for a fair price). But now I find myself missing sailing.
 
my dad has a Scot (70s maybe?) and he LOVEs it. Perfect size - one man can run it, but four can ride comfortably.
I'm a hack sailor, aside from the Scot, folks have a little Sunfish, man that thing is fun and easy but SMALL lol.
Best time I ever had, me and best friend tried running it together, one in teh "hatch", otehr on te hhull. made it a whole 20 mins before first flop, after the 2nd we decided it might be too much for our friendship lol.

This is one thing I thank the Boy Scouts for, learned to sail small boats at summer camp (Raven's Knob)
 
Heres mine.....we sail around Bath/ Washington, and Oriental/ Beaufort.
Not real often though.......

My folks have a 2000 model 38' Catalina. They have primarily kept it at Oriental, but it is currently up on the Chesapeake Bay. I usually go sailing with them twice a year over long weekends (4-5 days). We are going to the BVI with them in February next year for 8 days aboard an Oceanis 393. I'm looking forward to that trip. It is a lot of fun and something I believe I will get more into when I retire and maybe buy my own boat to keep at the coast.
 
dude wish you would"ve posted this earlier.

just sold a laser with trailer for $600.

but i still havemy hobie.......monohauls toooo sloooowwwww :flipoff2:

but i have access to a fs at lake norman
 
Monohulls are great for little kids. I'll be wanting to find a mini-sunfish for the kids or move over to one of those new roto-molded Hobies with the double tramps and the righting bubble. If we ever get the $$$ set aside for it.

We still have our flying scot, it needs some work though.

Within the past 10 years or so we got rid of another flying scot and our 43' Morgan. I spent a lot of my weekends on sailing trips in the Morgan when I was little, words can't describe how much I miss that thing. We went through some wicked storms in it!

If I remember correctly Camp SeaGull has the Morgan, it's named "The Unicorn" if anyone would know anything about it.
