    Taking the concept of “Water Ballast” too far.

    One league under the sea?

    The sail powered submarine never caught on

    They told me that if I opened the pug in the back of the transom and I went fast enough, the boat would empty itself.

    “Captain, our radar seems to be working fine while we’re sailing in Stealth Mode.”

  11. Brad Kerstetter 5 months ago

    Just another short sighted attempt at an eco friendly stealth submarine run by “sailors” unfamiliar with sailing. Bring the jib sheet over seaman!

    Head up a bit, you’re luffing.

  13. Peter Detwiler 5 months ago

    AAAh, actually, the seacock goes in the other direction, OK?

  14. Scott Henry 5 months ago

    I think we’ve let the jib blow through far enough, take in the other sheet!
    By the way, why are my feet wet?

    At last , a yacht design where maximum speed is not limited by the hulls water line length.

    We’ll this is a fine kettle of fish you’ve gotten us into this time, Ollie!

    It’s “Captain” jack sparrow

    Must be those new members of the “Red Neck Yacht Club”, Tish and Wayne, showing off their new fancy pantsy sailboat with a built in swimming pool again!

    When I yelled “REEF!”, I wasn’t talking about the sails….

  20. Kat 5 months ago

    How do you like my new race maneuver? Halfway to stealth mode. Shhhhhhhh.

  21. John 5 months ago

    Void Ho!

  22. Becky J Elmore 5 months ago

    Honey I can’t find the toilet plunger!

    “ Dive! Dive! Dive!”

  26. David R 5 months ago

    Insurance company response: definite correlation between back-winded jib and submersion, however causality is still up for debate…

  27. Eben Kermit 5 months ago

    Watch me ‘roll tack’ this 35 footer… just like I did on my Lazer. Oh oh!

    Who said: “It’s a bright sunny day so leave the foul weather gear behind, no way we’re going to get wet.”

A Question for the Nation
The boat is a unique ketch that my dad — Jean Filloux — designed himself with a naval architect friend at Sparkman & Stephens to be built with a first-of-its-kind manufacturing method that Jean came up with.
Silver Mines
Just like in the Comstock Lode in Nevada, there's still a lot of silver to be won from the 2023 racing season. It's available by reporting the races you've already sailed in 2023.
