This past weekend I had my little boat out (1979 Boston Whaler Harpoon 4.6) on a small nearby lake and there was a guy there admiring my boat at the dock. He was talking to me about how he'd always wanted a little daysailor... so... you guessed it - I took him and his wife out! There was a good stiff wind that day, so we got it up on the rail very nicely - heck, we were flying! Lots of spray, steady wind and a beautiful warm day - an absolutely superb sail. That 'ol boy was hooked.. he asked me twice for the BW Harpoon website! I did warn him that they still bring good money, but that you get what you pay for and if he finds a nice one it will last him a lifetime.
Good thing for him that lake was too small for a Mac!
Here's a picture of my boys and me rigging her earlier that day- it was one of those 'teaching moments'!
