**whew** Okay, new poll! Chicken or fish? No, I kid... sail or motor? Personally, I like sailing. And nushka, I think you need to post that picture again - that was sweet.

I like both. Nobody understand me...

***shocked*** What kind of an example are you setting for all the young sailors out there? You'd better think long and hard about your commitments, missy!

but I really want the double oven I'm bored with just using the toaster, I feel I am entitled to both.

Palm, I can't even look at you right now.

Guss that makes you bi... curious?

Me in my pleasure craft? Who doesn't love a gay little sailor in uniform?

Oh yeah... and here's a little something something...

love sailing, love motorcycles love driving fast i am a terrible speed demon

I've never been sailing, I prefer paddling to motor boats. Once we were caught in some strong winds, so we tied our canoes together to create a sort of catamaran. We tied a tent fly to two paddles and just sailed on the wind. That was fun.

No sailing yet here and I also prefer to paddle! You see much more wildlife paddling.

Wow, hard to imagine how anybody could get to adulthood without sailing, nothing like the exhilaration of harnessing the wind. You simply MUST give it a go.

I would love to give it a try!

If you like paddling you might love a sail-yak. It is basiy a kayak with a lee board and little loose footed sail and they are some of the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

that could potentially be a very practical boat for camping trips. The biggest bane of camping trips has been the wind - whitecaps can get dangerous with canoes, and although kayaks are more stable it's still much harder to paddle into the wind. Can you stow gear on one of those things? It doesn't look like it in most of them...

My friends is simple the regular hard bodied kayak, has a place for storage on each end, and then has a lee board and small sail rig and rudder assembly that bolts onto it. It will give even a pretty good sailor a little pucker factor when they jibe it in a fresh breeze but it tacks very easily and what a fun toy.

They look so fun.

OK... try this the sail rig bolts onto the kayak at the front of the cockpit, it has a long board (a lee board) that bolts on the side of the kayak and sticks down to give the boat lateral resistance, and then it has a little steering paddle (the rudder) that bolts on the back and you pull a rope to move it left or right. It is very easy to turn the boat across the wind with the wind coming from the front, but if the wind is coming from behind you and you are bringing the ass of the kayak across it, it takes a little getting use to with out wrecking.... how is that? Better? ;-)

did you just say my kayak has an ass? see? that I understand.

ok ms chicken Neither ! I like to be in control so if I must be in a boat I like paddling my kayak around in circles. I'm a bit of a chicken myself. This would beof my kayaking nightmares...
