The day before yesterday, I took a friend out sailing a Valk sailboat and taught him how to sail it in about 2.5 hours. TYou guys won't know the Valk design but Phill and many Dutch people do. He enjoyed very much and want to do such evenings of after work sailing more often.

Best part is that we can rent these boats fro 25 bucks an hour and it is day light overhere till 10:00 PM. Not need to put on wetsuits either. Just nice cruising in a open sailboat of 22 foot length.

Today ? Well, we'll see in the next 2 years whether today will be a turning point in the beach catamaran scene. The missing link of the sport we all love could have found it's momentum today. And just as with the F16's back in 2001 it happened in the last week of mei !
