Why Don't You Just Sail A Keelboat? [Part Two]
Try doing this with your Beneteau.
On second thought, maybe using this photo is not such a great idea. It must be a son of gun to get that cat on and off the roof rack.

Why do our Australian cousins have all the fun?
Because they still have local classed sailboats....and they like to tinker.

Wednesday Wipeout!
Weta woopsie.
Marketing spiel: The Weta looks and performs like a high-performance race boat. But the Weta is also stable, forgiving and easy to sail. Advanced sailors will appreciate the trimaran’s performance and with the easy set up, people that don’t normally have the patience will find themselves grinning ear-to-ear on a 15 knot reach.
Stable and seaworthy, that's what I think when I look at this photo.
