Just an Illusion

   I saw them years ago on the Thames at Tamesis SC, looked great. I see there is a large fleet on the Isle of Wight but I imagine sailing them in the winter in solent chop you get every wave right in your face, not nice!

	They are lovely little things , like miniature yachts. A friend of mine got one a couple of years ago , he has Parkinson’s so was finding dinghys a little difficult. He loves it as it means he can race on a even footing in this clubs racing . Edited by Dakota - 22 Dec 22 at 1:41pm

	Something about levelling the playing field regarding weight, mobility and fitness holds merit in my eyes.

	Was not aware of these insane boats until my You Tube feed started showing me. Just where do you start? 12 feet long and you sit in it??? Steer with you feet??? Spinnaker but no pole, just use your hands??? Helm weights corrected to 100kg??? This is inspired madness, I love it.
