I met the designer of the windrider a few years ago at the Ceder Key Small Boat Fest.

He was incredibly nice older man. He was nearly blind, and walking around "feeling up the boats" and taking pictures of all the boats he was interested in. His (very adult) son explained when he got home he would blow them up HUGE on his Giant TV and explore every weld, bolt, line, block, etc.. this way..

the festival was FULL of guys who spent years hand crafting the slowest moving boats you could imagine. every flavor. from wooder shunting rafts, to toothpick rowboats.

They kept yelling at us too pull out our "whompers"
and "FLY a Pontoon" at us (it was blowing about 6 in 14" of water). It was a nice weekend in "old school touristy florida"

the waters were incredibly beautiful ... natural.. ."skinny water"

they later wrote us up as the f-18's (I had a used f-18 sail that weekend on my mystere 5.5. my friend had a customized mystere 6.0)
