ARC sailing, very cool! I was way into sailing for awhile. Had a Pearson Flyer 30 from 85 to 90 timeframe. Flat deck and an absolute joy to run around on. Pretty much a larger J-24. Fun times, nothing out there like sailing.
Especially regattas and moonlight cruises.
Nice. Very fast with the fat jib and is quite smooth in the water due to the well designed ballast.
Best all around sailboat for day sailing and racing in the scow class.
Have you seen the newer racing catamarans at the US SailGP in Chicago?
Super fast - clocked at almost 85 knots. Saw one capsize trying to sneak around the bend trying to catch up.

Yes they are totally insane. All carbon fiber so super strong and lightweight. Just think about going 85 knots in a sailboat! First time I became aware of these was maybe a couple of years ago, I was totally amazed to say the least.

30 knots is fast to me! Especially in a daysailer.

I was a center forward and GK as a kid.
I played on teams 2-4 years older than me.
But I changed my body type as I aged to thicker and more explosion based for football.

In high school I was a center fullback and the back up GK as a freshman.
Coach wanted me to focus on Goalie and go to position camps then start there as a sophomore but soccer was overlooked at my school so I followed football.

Nice. Those are all very good positions.

I was small and slow so nothing past 8th grade B team for me.

How slow?

The coach would say "break out the sundial" when
I was running my post practice 40's.

:omg:

I'll let you guess which one - I was either a 10x pro Bowl HOF NFL superstar or I was a weak awkward stupid kid who allowed his older brother to kick his *** over and over with Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl.

One year of varsity HS ball. Safety, TE, and special teams. I didn't start, but I got snaps at all three spots in games. I am just a slightly-more-knowledgeable-than-average fan of the game.
