Joe, LOVE IT! I'm in the same boat (pun?). My grandfather plunked my brother and me in a wooden pram with a square sail at the age of 6-7 and shoved us off in the lake. We've been sailing ever since. He was a shipwright by trade. We still have his Triangle Class at the same lake. My wife is new to the adventure since marrying me some 17 years ago.
