Make sure she tries to drag the Bravo across the grass and beach... It looks small but I have seen the kids and women really struggle going up the beach without wheels.

its a neat little boat but don't underestimate the drag coefficient... Also... getting wheels under this boat on the beach are also a muscle thing so tell her to check it out.

Not to throw a wet blanket on things, But
Back in the day, I bought a girlfriend everything needed over a couple of years to sail. We broke up and all gear gone.
Next girlfriend: Bought everything again, after a year or so, broke up. All gear gone.
Then I decided to buy all the gear and when sailing with any new girl let her know it's yours and she can use it when sailing.
It worked, I married that one and she gave me my current super crew.
The wife now crews around and we are both much happier at the end of the day.
Buy the jewelry as a present.

Keith, 36' monoslug on top of my own Hobie..... VERY SLOW

Thanks for the laugh

Thanks for the advice, she has most of the stuff. Just the trap harness that she has is and old Hobie on and kinda sucks compared to the one I use.

As for her getting a Bravo, is there any other boat that people would suggest? Not to be mean but she is strong, not like husky strong, but she works out alot and isn't that much weaker than me. She can handle my 14 alone, so I figured she could handle the Bravo. Plus we sail on Lake Thunderbird and put our boats in where the old Highway runs into the water. I drive directly down to the water so there is almost no pulling the boats around, but if you all think it would be hard for her to pull it around then maybe she should look into something else.

Keep her on the 14 and get her a nice trap harness. There are two women sailing 14's in your area, one is excellent and one a newbie. They'll be at the Daggerless.

Check your PM.

Bob, you're really going to have to talk Liza into wearing something more aerodynamic.

I have one of those kinda pictures, too:


Come to think of it, Diane doesn't look that aerodynamic either.

Nothing wrong with that hat!!! I like that hat and wear the same... (It just looks better on her.....)

Why don't Enrique and Carla have the team helmets?




It's got to be a Reynolds number thing.
