Nice! Kids sailing cats. Probably won't end up in a political discussion fiasco.

My little guy. He's 3.

Cool, you have 3 years to save for an Opti too? Maybe yours and mine will meet up at a regatta!

As I said about that video on Facebook, it brings tears to my eyes. I LOVE it.

Hey there,

Apologies for hijack as we are not on a wave, just great to see kids out on cats.

My 10 year old and 13 year are crew on my F16 / Mosquito with kite.

Hamish & I out on Furr_ball Peel Island race at Easter.

Great Video Barb! Will share with our Exec Director and other Board Members at Sail Sand Point in Seattle. Looks very familiar, we need to do a similar video with our kids.

Thanks! The parents love seeing their kids in action on the water.

It's just raw footage, I'm no videographer or video editor. Driving and filming simultaneously are pretty challenging. Also have to be *very* careful what you say to yourself while shooting, the camera catches everything you utter.

Hope your team has as much fun with it as we are!
