I sailed a Folbot for a while - freshwater lakes - mostly in Alaska. Loved it. Then I fell hard for a 30 foot marconi rigged sloop. Sailed in and around Kodiak Island. My fav maneuver was to sail when very light wind conditions allowed me to rig out the Genny (Genoa) and sail along "Wing and Wing" - that is - the Genny set to one side, and the mainsail set to the opposite side. Greatest fun ever. Got transfered out and had to give it up. Boat got sold. Bought an airplane. Very similar - boats and airplanes.......... boats are big holes in the water into which you throw money, and airplanes are much the same - but big holes in the air into which you throw money!!
