Yep, finished our (mine & son’s) 2-week sailing course. The last day was a

bit of an anticlimax — windy, the boat heeled a lot, Danny got spooked, I

ended up doing most of the driving. We learned a lot, though, and had great

fun.

If I had to do it over again, though, I wouldn’t have started my boy in a

2-man craft like the Club 420. It’s a bit too complex for a child just

beginning, and he was overwhelmed. A better bet would be a small, simple,

one-man craft like a Sunfish or an Opti.
