Turn Turtle...

     When a catamaran goes topsy turvy, i.e. with the bottom up, which happens sometimes during catamaran races, it's referred to as 'to turn turtle'.

      Who would we, catamaranists, be without a bit of self-deprecating humor?

16 reasons Sailing is better than sex:

  1. You don't have to hide your Sailing magazines. 
  2. It's perfectly acceptable to pay a professional to Sail with you once in a while. 
  3. The Ten Commandments don't say anything about Sailing. 
  4. If your partner takes pictures or videotapes of you Sailing your beachcat, you don't have to worry about them showing up on the Internet if you become famous.
  5. Your Sailing partner doesn't get upset about people you sailed with long ago. 
  6. It's perfectly respectable to Sail with a total stranger. 
  7. When you see a really good Sailer, you don't have feel guilty about imagining the two of you Sailing together. 
  8. If your regular Sailing partner isn't available, he/she won't object if you Sail with someone else. 
  9. Nobody will ever tell you that you will go blind if you Sail by yourself. 
  10. When dealing with a Sailing pro, you never have to wonder if they are really an undercover cop. 
  11. You can have a Sailing calendar on your wall at the office, tell Sailing jokes, and invite coworkers to Sail with you without getting sued for harassment. 
  12. There are no Sailing-transmitted diseases. 
  13. If you want to watch Sailing on television, you don't have to subscribe to the Playboy channel. 
  14. Nobody expects you to Sail with the same partner for the rest of your life. 
  15. Nobody expects you to give up Sailing if your partner loses interest in it. 
  16. Your Sailing partner will never say, "Not again? We just Sailed last week! Is Sailing all you ever think about?"
