Jim (et al) Some hockey players sail very well. One in particular comes to mind: The first time I sailed Canadian Youth Nationals (as a 17 year-old representing Manitoba in 1984), there was this huge guy from Brockville who killed us all and won the whole thing without breaking a sweat. He then nailed the world youth championships, won the world Finn championship twice and also sailed for Canada in the 92 Olympics (and would have medaled had he not been DSQ'd in a race he won because he didn't have a PFD in his boat).
Once his pro sailing career was over, he then joined the Ottawa Senators and played NHL hockey. He was also captain of the Canadian national hockey team for a spell. I kid you not. (If he wasn't such a nice guy, I call him an asshole for being so good at 2 different sports) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_Lammens Cheers, Colin On Mon, Feb 24, 2014 at 11:59 AM, Jim Watts <paradigmat...@gmail.com> wrote: > It's hard to retrain hockey players to sail, they keep boarding the > opposition. > > Jim Watts > Paradigm Shift > C&C 35 Mk III > Victoria, BC > > > On 23 February 2014 16:19, Rich Knowles <r...@sailpower.ca> wrote: > >> We're working on it.
