    That sail and rig is in remarkably good shape considering that a suburb seems to have grown up around the sunken hull.

    After selling his power boat, Larry fully embraced green sailing.

    Once the boom is fastened to the mast and the standing rigging is secured and tensioned with the next storm we’re outta here!

    Knowing the wind always catches the main, Brian was sure the leaves 🍂 would blow the same way, saving him the task of raking!

    Kilroy was here

    Disgusted with high slip fees, Paul B. carried this item inland until nobody he met knew what it was. He then planted it in the ground and knew he had found his new home

  22. Mark LeVander 4 months ago

    Kilroy was here, but left with the hull.

  23. Kelvin Meeks 4 months ago

    Divorce Sale. Wife got the other half.

    Deep down, an ILCA dinghy is just like a Laser.

    Now, that’s what I call a land yacht!

    “Gophering” in the vast tunnel network under the seagrass will catch on once the “”foiling” fad becomes passe’

  29. Sailorette 4 months ago

    We’re just waiting for a strong enough wind to move the house to become a waterfront property

  30. Keith Kreycik 4 months ago

    Drill enough holes and you can get it to sink anywhere.

  31. Eben Kermit 4 months ago

    Successful sailing requires a laser focus. Garage sailing does not.

  32. Eric James Pederson 4 months ago

    Leaping halyards! I can’t believe my crew’s incompetence – I told them to put up a foresail sign.

  33. Dafna Brown 4 months ago

    Doesn’t everyone set up their sails to dry in the front yard after rinsing them?

  34. Dave P 4 months ago

    When this rig is attached to the lawnmower my yard will be the “greenest” one in the neighborhood.
