I see pics!!

Those were pretty good boards I think (based on old WindRider Magazine tests).  Interesting that it only has that two bolt base as an attachment point.  That would be fairly unique for the late 80’s I think.  Stuff had started to standardize then (not masts…that would take another decade!!!).

Second pic:

Nope, still the same deal no matter what I do. Two images either linked (from imgur) or uploaded (yes, I waited!) makes the post disappear upon clicking the submit button. One image is fine:

hmmm……

have you uploaded one image a a time?  Many updates ago (this site is powered by WordPress) you had to wait for one image upload to complete and then add another.  TIme consuming, but htat worked a couple years ago.

As Geoff says, nice and shallow quite a ways out to practice beach starts, and it’s fairly trivial to make E/W tacks all the way to the shoreline…[Read more]

Answer to the Polestar question, which I’d overlooked…

Drove it at an Audi event at the Glen, with instructor. Learned a lot in a couple of days. Went from feeling like I was the LOL in the center of the freeway 30 MPH slower (more) than the rest of the traffic, to passing most of the cars in my novice group.

The instructor thought the…[Read more]
