@leeminardi :
If I put one of those symbols on my Sunfish will it make it sail faster?
Actually, some time ago I found a Canadian product that you apply to your hull that reduces the friction with the water, but now I can't find it anymore. In 1965 I crewed for Peter Jones, winning the Jet 14 National Championship. Each night after dark he would apply teflon spray to his hull. There was an article I found recently about Peter (RIP), written by the fella who came in 2nd, that Peter was in 20th place in the last race but passed 18 boats to score high enough to win the series. What he didn't say was that I was the one who told Peter to go right vs. left and we would pass all the boats. Thank goodness he finally listened. He was a very stubborn character, but I guess that when you're in 20th place you might as well try something different.
