Tacking A Lateen Rigged Sailboat. "The Sunfish."

Shawn, the Sunfish uses a modern lateen, which has an additional spar along the foot of the sail, similar to the crab claw sail traditionally used on the proa (ones that shunt).  Check out My2fish for more information on Sunfish sailing. The photo above came from his blog.

Watch these videos to see how to tack.

I love dolphins. Do you remember Flipper? He always helped Ranger Rick and his sons, Bud and Sandy chase down evil doers. Good job!

So Let Me Get This Straight, It's Chicago Or Rio.

Really? I know I just fell off the turnip truck, but are you kidding me?

Have you met Fernanda and Isabel?

Really, is there a choice?

Really? Look at that view!

Did I mention the view?

I'm sorry Barry, but I've got to go with my heart....and the better landscape. So it's Brazil (Brasil) by a landslide. (If I had a vote)

Just look!
Olá Peter, olá João!
