We have been busy this summer and now that it is almost over I'll write a bit. We are the official owners of Inspiration II (old Con El Viente) and are planning winter now. I must admit that our watermanwater.tumblr.com site is seeing more posts than this one. I am not too sure why but that is the way it happened.
I came across this site this afternoon and have watched most of the Youtubes to date. http://svdelos.blogspot.com/ is about a sailboat travels from Australia to Indonisia to Malaysia and probably onward. A well written blog and Youtube videos are pretty good too. Makes me wish I were 40 years younger.
We are sailing our Little Yellow this summer on Pleasant Lake and that has been a blast. It is a 16' American Fiberglass and has a battened main with a nice jib that helps tack around. I think the main is a tad too big but I am going to experiment a bit by shortening it a bit by taking one wrap around the boom. Other than that she is a small sloop with a tiller and all the features and sheets of a bigger boat.
