Re: ASA advises 10% increase in new sailors

A ten percent increase in the number of new sailors...five new people? In the last two marinas where I've lived or kept my boat. I was the youngest sailor - at almost forty - to leave the dock...

Re: Max length = 26 feet

Re: New Joker Valve Leaking Or Something Else
