2015 Sailing News and New
Stuff! This is bit long… sorry for
the length
FOR 
FOR SALES… The Corsair F27 trimaran price has come down to
39,999. This is a nice boat with extra Genoa, 9 hp outboard motor, and big cabin for extended cruising. It is also fast with great upwind performance. It folds up easily while on the water for docking. http://funtosail.blogspot.com/p/used.html
HOBIE… Remember the new Hobie Tandem
Islands
HOBIE… Also the T2 Hobie catamaran has received an upgrade
on the sail plan… making it faster via better sail shape.
ONLINE STORE… I did finish the online store but the only
challenge I have right now is finalizing the shipping system. I am telling you
all about the store even though the shipping system is not done to see what you
think of it and for suggestions. You can see the online store at http://funtosail.blogspot.com/p/parts.html
and then click on the online store link.
WEST MARINE… I will be working with West Marine this year as
a sub store… meaning you can get anything for sailing you want at my store at
the same price or less, and can pick up your West Marine orders from my store.
I am still finalizing this with West Marine.
SAIL MARINE STORE… will be open now part time from Jan.-Feb.
and open full time June-Sept Tue-Fri. 11-6. I have done some remodeling to the
store with no items added.
MAGAZINES… I will have 40 Degrees North and Small Craft
Advisor Magazines available at my store this year. 40 Degrees North is free and
Small Craft Advisor Mag is not.
SAILING CLASSES for 2015 have been added to the calendar at http://funtosail.blogspot.com/p/cal.html
. If you do not find a class that fits your schedule let me know as I will be
adding more as time passes. You will notice some of the keelboat classes have
no dates and this is because you can sign up and we can customize the date of
the class to your liking. Remember to sign up ASP as the classes fill up fast.
LEARN-TO-SAIL book… I am fast approaching the finished
product of my new learn-to-sail book. It’s been a long time in the making and
will be unlike any other learn-to-sail book on the market. It will be available
via download at a great price and I will have a few printed copies at my store
for sale. Overall this will be a downloadable book so you can use it on your
iPad/Tablet, computer, etc.
NEW VIDEOS have been posted on my YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/user/funtosail
such as my popular Hobie 16 learn-to-sail video. I will be posting
learn-to-sail and other videos on this site regularly.
SEA SCOUTS meeting is tonight at 7:PM (Thursday Jan. 8th).
Location... StanCraft/Syd Young's
Boat House, 6848 Maplewood Avenue Islands .
The Islands allow us to accommodate youth with
physical disabilities. This youth program is for ages 14 (13 if graduated from
the 8th grade) through 20. This is a program for youth interested in
sailing, adventure, and socializing with like minded youth, etc. We can
accommodate various physical disabilities within reason but if a youth has a
cognitive disability they should contact Special Needs Rec. in CdA or contact
the Spokane Therapeutic Program for recreational opportunities. We do not run
events on Sunday and we do offer an opening and close pray at all events and
meetings. However you do not need to be religious to participate… all are
welcome!
INLAND NORTHWEST SAILORS… I want to remind everyone that the
club burgee/flags are available for sale at my store (I can mail one to you)
for $26. Also attention HOBIE SAILORS in central 
THRIVE FOODS… I will have Thrive food for sailors meetings/classes
every week starting next week. I will teach about foods you can store on your
boat and how to do it; How to cook freeze-dried foods, etc. Great thing about
these foods they are the same price or lower as compared to foods you can
purchase in the store, their nutritional value is off the charts, and you can
measure the food out resulting in no thrown away foods… doesn’t go bad like
foods you get in the store, so really it’s a big savings. Not only can you
store the foods for emergencies up to 30 years but again can eat the food daily
with a shelf live of 2 or so years… if you do eat it daily you will see your
health improve. Got any questions give me a call 208-704-445 or email me at funtosail@gmail.com . See class and event
dates at… http://funtosail.blogspot.com/p/cal.html
DISABLED/ACCESSIBLE SAILING starts again this year. I am
looking for a Hobie 16 to be donated to the program as I have the adaptive wing
seats but no boat. The age of the H16 needs to be 1986 or newer. Some 1984-85
boats can work but I will need to check them out closely. The boat has to be
safe to accommodate persons with disabilities. Funding is coming in slowly (but
is coming) for the purchase of a new Hobie
