Plywood Sailfish

Oh yes - those were the days. My first date with my present wife was sailing on her family's Sailfish. I was aft, she was forward (by the rails) - when I slid off, she came back and got me. We'd take it out with 3 people, and heading downwind, we'd start sliding forward. Pretty soon the whole hull would be under water. Also, have a photo of it (somewhere) heeled over so far the tip of the mast is about 3' out of the water, and I'm sitting on the edge with a big smile. No directional control of course - the rudder is out of the water!
