Does anyone recall which thread, I'd appreciate it.
It seems as though youngsters, or any age for that matter, get gun shy looking at all the lines on a cat. I fall into the category of got a boat with bell and whistles, adding more bells and whistles, and enjoying tinkering almost as much as sailing. This does nothing for promoting the sport with the late teens and twenties crowd. They love it on the water, but hate the setup takedown. There are a few older throw and go boats out there that are affordable for these younger sailors. Needed are mentors and a venue. Looking for more ways to perpetuate a good thing.
