Posts: 30 Lake Norman, NC | I'm not a frequent poster here. Much more of just a lurker. But I did take my kids out on the boat for the first time on Sunday for a great day of sailing. They LOVED it! I'm just boasting here, but I think my 4-yr-old son, Kyle, looks too darned cute in this pic: And here's our ride: I think there's some serious potential crew developing here!

Unregistered | My Gf love to sail "hard and fast"... on the wire.. bows under water... but the first time i really flew a hull with her 7 year old daughter onboard... she started to cry... i found out it was just because she was cold and tired... but i think she enjoyed it in the end... | | | Re: Starting 'em out young

Bad news was, our boat had rudder issues, so we used a friend's boat.
Good news, we were sailing back to the beach, I turned to Hunter, and said "Do you want to go that way, onto the beack to see Mommy (pointing at beach), or that way to go fast (pointing back to the water)?"
He pointed to the water and yelled "THAT WAY!!!"
