Mary;

I think the more accurate phrase would be that Trish loves the boat. She always wanted a boat that she could sail without worrying that an experienced sailor was on board. The Wave is forgiving but also a lot of fun. What I also like is the fact that I can have the thing rigged and on the water in 15 minutes. If time is limited (after work), that is no problem since the rigging is so quick and easy.

I was teaching my son how to jibe Wednesday night. No fear of him getting his head knocked off by a boom (and the way he jibed, he would have gotten a big knot in his head if there was a boom). I tried teaching him on the Inter 18 but I was simply not comfortable with him at the helm. The Wave is perfect for teaching him how to sail. Of course, he keeps hoping for big winds so he can scream across the lake.

Yep, Trish got hooked on the wave by sailing with Kathy K. at your seminar series. Another positive benefit of attending that seminar last year.

Cheers
