I've got one of the first O'Day Sprites (with hand-painted red gelcoat and wood spars, no less!) that were designed by Phil Rhodes. I also have a Penguin (another Rhodes design)...with lots of strings to pull -- for a little catboat.

I see! Lucky you! Where do you sail out of? I'm stuck inland in northern California - after 50+ years of being in Hawaii, it's quite a shock not being able to walk out my door and drive a mile to the beach!
Chesapeake Bay...lots of small boat sailing opportunities around here. I worked in San Jose, hiked around the Bay, and Northern California is still one of my favorite places to visit...the twisty two-lanes are great.
The twisty two-lanes? I never thought of our roads like that, but yeah - they are! I've never done much sailing in California - only a couple times in San Francisco Bay - and man lemme tellya how bloody COLD that water is!
