I can't wait. <BR/><BR/>Sailing backwards is a very important skill. <BR/><BR/>One year I was racing in the world famous Hangover Bowl Laser Regatta at Cedar Point Yacht Club. Every race has different rules such as having to do a 360 on every leg, or you decide whether this race is windward-leeward or leeward-windward, or the "come within chug" race. In one race the finish was downwind but you had to cross the finish line by sailing backwards. If only I were better at sailing backwards I would have won that race! <BR/><BR/>Ah well. Always next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283526.post-84641596584618999452008-09-22T07:04:00.000+00:002008-09-22T07:04:00.000+00:00Congratulations - it is!Your prize is a signed cop...Congratulations - it is!<BR/><BR/>Your prize is a signed copy of Buff's book "Sailing Backwards".
