I have been sailing dinghies for a while. I started with hobbiecat some years ago.
I love sailing in small boats couse you can feel the sea very close and you do a lot of excercise as well.
However, when I have been invited to sail and race in bigger boats I have to say that I've been disapointed:
- bigger boats are slow and you don't feel the sea. - you are often the last monkey in a large crew and you don't have the chance to learn... you are just a moving load.
If you feel you had had the same dissapointment after moving from dinghies to bigger boats I would suggest to try to sail with the didgeridoo, a 33 feet catamaran owned by 25knot.com
25knots is the only spanish company I've heard of that believes in racing catamarans.
Their offer is simple: go sailing for 4-5 hours in the Barcelonacoast with a 33feet high performance racing catamaran.
During the 4-5 hours you have the chance to learn how to sail a radical boat. They let you stear the boat, trim the main sail, the jib, the spinniker, ... basically you play all the posible roles in a racing team.
The speed that you can achieve is spectacular ... 12 knots with brezes of less than 7-8 knots. If you don't peak 12 knots they give you a 50% discount.
Last Sunday when we went sailing with the didgeridoo, we peaked 16 knots in a day with really small winds ... I doubt that any other boat would go faster than 7 knots.
Once you have shown a minimal expertise they let you participate in a regatta with your own racing team.
This is something really want to try ...
you can find all the required info in www.25knots.com
good luck !
