Here is a "little peek" at what "a little wind" can do to spoil your day of sailing. Quite a sight when catamarans start "tumble weeding" over each other, and cars. Taken at the infamous Dunedin Causeway a number of years back.

Here's a little event that walked across Clearwater and then on up to the Dunedin Causeway a few summers ago.

A jib furler comes in handy on days like this.

Join the Dunedin crowd for the Eric Barton Memorial on Sunday, October 27th, 2002! It's a distance race up the

Gulf and amongst the intercoastal islands with the exact course a secret until race day. It's one of our BIGGEST races!

We can't guarantee big air but it's been known to happen.

a life insurance policy also comes in handy on days like that.
