Iver Burl: A portion of the lift fleet at La Crosse (Wisconsin) Sailing Club. Lake Onalaska, an impoundment of the Mississippi and Black Rivers, is in the background. The lift fleet is mostly Uffa Fox's Daysailers. Bullseye is so-named for attracting collisions in class races, and wears a little bullseye decal on the spot of each encounter.
George Kruzynski: Here's a video that demonstrates how fast you think you're going when the water is going by 6 inches from your elbow. This was our Rozinante Evangeline cooking right along.
Andrew Amenta: (Above) My Bauer 12 powered up in nice breeze, dog likes the leeward side. Morro Bay, CA. (Below) My first attempt at designing and building a skiff, with the assistance of my dad. Morro Bay, CA.
Michael Scheibeck: Attached are some shots of my beloved Sea Pearl 21 #277 Magic Pearl, which we campaigned extensively for 22 seasons after she acquired us in the January of 1989 at Cleveland boat show. I hope her current caretakers, with whom I've lost contact, are having something like this much fun. (Above) 1998, My wife dry sailing Magic Pearl while we were awaiting the flood tide to float us off the beach near Cape Lookout Light, North Carolina. (Below) 2004, Going at it hammer and tongs on Carlyle Lake, Illinois, at a Sea Pearl Oktoberfest gathering. Photo by Carol Churchill, I think. Her husband Steve was busy steering their boat.

Ants Uiga: Nimpkish Lake, BC for my first launch of a one-off strip-plank version of the superbly designed Mariner Max kayak.
Colin Masson: Photos (above and below) of a recent trip to Baja Mexico with the Rupert Voyageur A Gig Harbour Salish Voyageur. The inflatable rollers made beach logistics easy and we developed a workable surf landing technique! More ambitious adventures now await another winter!

On that bottom photo, Scott replies: "It’s a Sirocco 15. I own 3 of them! Very rugged and well built. This one has the aluminum centerboard while the yellow one has a steel one."
Good idea. I hereby decree a new and lasting rule...identify the boat type(s) with photo submissions.
