He did okay for a 71 year old dude. This was at a small local lake. Gusty northwesterly. Good day. He had a ball. We were out on his 5.2. He was out on the wire too but i left the camera back at shore.

My grandmother crewed for me in a lake race when she was 73.
She was very excited about it.
We were on the P 16, and when we had to tack, she would lie down and roll carefully to the other side.
When the wind built to 10 kts and we flew a hull momentarily, she turned to me and asked, we're going fast now, aren't we?
30 years later it still makes me smile.
