ha - the bikini boat wash would probably ruin his eyesight...

ok so i've been informed he doesn't have a dry suit. i may go with that.

he also mentioned a waterproof video cam that he could strap to the boat when he's sailing - anybody have one they would recommend?

How about some pro coach sessions? That will be the single most effective way to improve his racing abilities.

How about a trip to California for a weekend regatta? Maybe we can find him a boat (F18 or N20) to skipper/crew on in Long Beach or San Diego.

Later,
Dan

I like the idea of a comp sailing seminar. Next one is in April, see www.SailingSeminars.com

For spray jackets, you can't beat the Gill Pro Sail
It actually is breathable, and waterproof. My prior jackets were breathable, but sucked water in.

A spin would be nice for the N-20.
Or sell his 18HT and his N-20 and buy him a F-18.

Jay, how about a H16 paddle boat instead? (from the IDOIT thread)
