MY
BOATS
My
biggest boat, "Polynya" , is a Cal 2-25 that I day sail on
Lake Michigan. Occasionally, I'll sail the boat to Michigan City
or St. Joe for a weekend. On very rare occasions, I'll race in
the Burnham Park Yacht Club beer can regatta (I am a member of both BPYC
and JPYC) on Wednesday nights. The boat's most interesting feature
is its paint job, which I provide an example of in the photo below
(taken while the boat was in storage at Crowley's Yacht Yard on the
Chicago
River).

The
Megabyte is my fastest, most exciting sailboat. It's like a big laser
with 25% more sail area on a carbon fiber spar and with a neat traveller
and modern sail shape controls. I love sailing this boat, but
typically do quite a bit of capsizing when the wind is over 20 knots... Visit
the Megabyte
website. Here's
a picture of my Megabyte:

My
third boat, "Draco", is actually my son's, Evan's. It
is a Barnett 1400 and is a excellent boat for beginners as well as
advanced sailors. Check out the Barnett
1400 website!
