I've got a 1974 Seafarer 24. You can see it at... my "Boat Page" on the Seafarer Research Center. It's a great little cruising boat that's able to go offshore. Some have crossed the Atlantic, others have puttered about the South Pacific. I'm going to fix it up and equip it to cruise the Carribean at least.
I also have a '60s StarCraft 14 aluminum semi-V with a 10hp Mercury to move it. I've built a large plywood casting deck on the front with seperate anchor locker and storage compartment. Next I'll be building an aft U-shaped casting deck. Eventually I want to move up to a 20hp Merc. to move the added weight around better. It's a fun little fishing/snorkeling boat!

17-foot Cape Horn (center console) with a 115 HP saltwater Mercury - I use it exclusively for race committee. OK, once in a while, the wife likes a quick sunset cruise around the Bayou, but not often - she works too hard.
She's called the Two Easy. I love her. Very much.

this is my Beach Comber Dory at anchor off Key Largo, jib is down, sold my p18 when the kids were too little, bought this, and after getting tired of going slow got another p18, that was before I knew about the real fast cats!

I have a 25ft oday that I am STILL trying to put back together. I recently bought a International Tempest. This is a 22ft mono racer that was once used in the olympics. Seems to be a lot of fun for local club racing and we have 5 currently racing.

Two Necky Cruiser sit-on-top kayaks. Great choice to socialize and maneuver around Pensacola Beach during raft-ups for the 4th of July and Blue Angel's Air Show. Good fuel economy too, one beer per mile.

I have a "Buncha" windsurfers and appertunant equipment (sails, booms, masts). Mostly Fanatic and Bic with UP rigs. Used to race a lot on windsurfers, but have more fun doublehanding on the "I" boat (Nacra 20)... I have someone else to blame!

Formula 14 on the trailer is next to a Windmill (15.5 feet, like a faster Snipe). I think OPB is the best kind of boat. 'Other People's Boats.' I teach sailing for Offshore Sailing School which has Colgate 26, Hunter 36 and Hunter 47s for class in a number of US exotic locations. I also crew on a Flying Dutchman, and sail with most anything in the course of the writing gig for St. Petersburg Times newspaper. But the most fun is tinkering with strange ideas on the F-14. Also humbling, sometimes.
