That is awesome!
I have been sailing for 2 decades with Hans G (of g-cat fame) who sailed solo, in any weather until his mid 70's. His body started to give him too much grief and sadly he has hung up his sailing gear recently.
Same with our local sailing shop owner Stu. He sailed his dart into his mid 70's and now Dana is the owner of that boat. Stu still races on his O'day 18' competitively (at least he did last year, not certain about this year). I have crewed for him in his O'day and after i learned what i was doing we won every heat (5 or 6).
both were/are an inspiration to many locals.
Meanwhile i can barley lift my arms after a day on the water (rotator cuff are both shot) and i am only 17 (that may be a huge lie)[/quote]
