O'Day Widgeon On a Late Fall Sail

We take our 12' sailing dingy out on a Colorado lake for an end of season sail. We cover some history and characteristics of the Widgeon and prepping it and the trailer for the sail.

Thanks very much for commenting. Great hearing about your sailing experiences! I hope we all can stay healthy and active and enjoy boating in our later years as well. My dad's friend circumnavigated in his 60s and sailed until his early 90s on the bays of North Carolina. Now that's a noble goal in my mind!

I really enjoyed this video !! I started on a Sunflower 10' single sail back in 1971 at 8yrs old. Moved on up to 14, 16, 18 foot Hobie's & Prindle's (catamarans) through my college yrs. After that I ended up in San Diego where I sailed so many different kinds of sailboats (mostly friend owned) from 23' to 35' Coronado's to Hunter's and even ended up on the water in a 51' Eclipse for 2 different Americas Cup Races in the 90's !! I have a little Lazer Race boat w/oversized sails now but haven't sailed for quite some yrs now. I've grown more horizontally lately !! :) lol :) I've been fishing & restoring my 64' Lone*Star 14'/54" Aluminum Riveted boat w/64' 9.5 hp Evinrude :) lol :) Thanks for sharing and bringing back old memories. Sincerely ...............
