Mary,
When I was 8 years old I wanted to learn to sail and my dad handed me his Reese Sailing Illustrated book. I absorbed that damn book. I remember sailing with my dad (on a Lightning) and these cats would come flying past us.
"Dad why are they so fast?" I'd ask
"Those arent sailors!" My dad would reply. "There just a bunch of pot smoking speed freaks!"
I found some of those speed freaks in high school and just fell in love with cats.
That was 20 years ago. 11 years ago I wanted to get back into sailing and cat sailing in general. So I went up to my parents attic and found that old Reese Sailing Illustrated book. I also went to the public libary and found a book written by Rick in the 1970's about catamaran sailing. I cant remember the name, but it was mostly about the Tornado. I wish I would have never returned it!
Then I found Catamaran Sailing for the 90s and it has more curled edges on it than Friar Tucks Bible ... but not as many as Reese's Sailing Illustrated has!

Good day,
Danny
P.S. I cant believe I used to do a "chicken jibe" in heavy air on my cat until I got Y'alls 90s book.
