I've yet to re apply the non skid, so with the abrupt stops and screaming acceleration down the wave faces, trapping was dicey. John's a good soft water sailor, but he completely dominates classes 3 and 4 with his solid winged landyachts! We just bought an 18 square together, and it might sport a wing next summer..... Yeah, the view from atop Big Mt is stunning. Not a lot of boat traffic on Flathead, more so on Whitefish Lake. We have an F27, a Stiletto that doesn't get out much, a good buddy's Nacra F18, and a mess of Hobies that rarely leave the beach. And my active fleet, the Stealth, the ARC22, Flight Risk, and soon the square! Come sail boys!
