It aint "Mainsheet" but at least it shows a bit of Catalina 25. Stay tuned for more, including an article extolling the wonders of our little boats... (probably coming out closer to spring)

BTW, please feel free to leave comments on the blog's page. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the subject. Thanks!

<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"> <i>from the outsideronline.com article</i>

We sailed to the islands in what is essentially a petrochemical shell covered in toxic paint and filled with non-recyclable plastic doodads and funky chemicals. Even the sails and the ropes are made from synthetic materials. Pretty much the only parts of our boat not somehow derived from petroleum are the metal spars and some wood trim. <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">Well, I guess that's one way to describe our boats.

Nice article, Ryan. It makes one think of responsibly consuming the environment as opposed to simply devouring it. We can't live a "<i>No impact</i>" life but we can live a <i>minimal</i> impact one.

Nice video's and great looking boat Ryan! I will take a day of sailing any day over any other means of navigation, leaving a pretty small foot print, if any... What kind of camera are you using?

Thanks for the comments and posts. I had not thought about sailing (vs power) as a means of offsetting carbon use for transportation. That thought adds yet another dimension to the twisty environmental plot. I think I'll go out tomorrow and do some offsetting while I think about it...

This is why I cringe when I read comments on this forum that says it is better to junk the boat than fix it. Comments like, "It'll cost more to repair it than it's worth." The cost of piling stuff we don't take care of, won't be realized for years to come. Take the time to take care of the things you own. IMHO that is the best thing we can do for the planet.
Everything in a Museum cost more to restore it than it is worth .
My two cents.
