Posts: 1,121 Eastern NC, USA | Larry Shannon, Birmingham AL, passed away this week. He was a great man and great catamaran sailor. He became a NACRA dealer in the late 1970's (after racing Sharks and Tornado's). He was the driving force behind catamaran sailing on the inland lakes of the Southeast United States. His ability to make, and keep, lifelong friends made him a remarkable individual. Fair winds and following seas to a great father and friend. Obit

Tom - best to Millie. Your Dad was a great guy - I'm glad to have known him.

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.

Posts: 404 Chattanooga, TN | Sorry to here...Take care Tom. I only had a privilege to meet your dad once but enjoyed him and his stories. I am sure he and Oley are racing right now and then will follow that with who has the best story!

I don't know, Dub. When you're time comes you probably want "screaming double trap reach going YAAAAAAAA the whole way..."
