Like I said, our club does NOT require membership fees to take sailing
lessons. If you do want to join, it is $500 first year, $250/yr after that,
and your kids can use the boats for FREE when they aren't o

My 2 cents ...

So is the focus on young people in particular or sailing in general? I suspect
there are more sailors today than ever before. Our proportion to power boaters
may continue to decline but total number of sailors is likely up.
As to young people we may not see them as they are involved in sailing
My 2 cents ...
My father bought his first boat when I was 2 years old, with 6 years
I`ve owned my first Optimist dinghy followed by 470, Laser ect ect...
My kids started their life to sail and live during the summer on a
boat. Of cause they`ve got their Optimist dinghy in the age of 6 ... Now
I started skiing in my late 20's, started sailing in my early 30's and didn't
buy my boat until my late 30's.
I tell non-sailors that for me sailing is a lot like skiing: the environment is
what makes you go, but it's also the environment that poses the challenge; I'm

Hi Fred,
Was this the USA registered Dove (two boats) with
the young skipper that circumnavigated the world
1969 - 1972 or the Canadian registered Dove with
the young family that circumnavigated 1972 - 1979?
I am interested because I bought the Canadian
registered Dove in mid-80s, lying in
I am thinking on a completely different track than you guys. I started out as passenger in a sailing canoe, learned to sail on a Sunfish, moved to a Lightning, then Rhodes 19 then OK Dinghy, 505, 470 and on and on. After 40 years of sailing, I started into the keel boat world. Dinghys are great.

Interesting, as I came to sailing NOT through racing, but more from the
cruising side. Like many on this list, it seems, I spent a lot of time seeing
sailboats around and dreaming of maybe someday having one of my own; and yes, I
saw The Dove back in the ‘70s and the romance of that lifestyle m
