Mike Carlson signed our guest book last summer. He writes" Anyways, I wanted to send you a few
pics of my Fairwind. She is called the Shell Bell. I raced her in my local
boat club last fall and placed 5th overall. That is good being that I was
new to it. I painted her whole hull. The bottom is pearl or metallic black
and silver and the top and rudder I painted white. I get lots of compliments
on her. It's also all stock.

This is Milton (Mit) Chorn's Fairwind. From the pictures it looks like Mit took
a lot of time in the details for this boat. I really like the paint scheme.
Mit lives in Abilene, Texas and sails with his friend David Goebel.

Mit's friend, and my internet friend, David Goebel sent me the pictures of Mit's boat and his Soling 1m.
It sure would be fun to stop in and sail with these guys. David Goebel's name may
be familure to you, he is very active in AMYA.

Maarten sent me these pictures and he wrote in his email.
I'm a 20 year old Belgian student mechanical engineering, and the owner
of a (quite old) Kyosho Fairwind. I bought my Fairwind second hand (6 or 7 years ago)
in quite bad condition: there where holes and dents in the hull, the keel was broken
and the mainsail was torn. After some weeks work with polyester and sanding paper,
the boat was ready to sail, and it got the name Spirit. As you can see on the attached
photos, the cabin is quite different from the new ones, but rigging and so are exactly
the same. The koala bear on the back was not original, but it looks nice.

The black and white photo's were very nicely done.
He wanted me to publish these pictures so that "People can see
that even a boat in extremely bad shape can become a nice sailor."

Steve Walsh's Fairwind
|
Steve Walsh sent me these pictures from Hilton New York.
The fairwind is sailing on Lake Ontario. Nice Picture Steve.
He writes that he added a lot of the "Extra" Stuff like the bow &
stern railings and the wheel & decals.
If I did it over again, I'd left it off."

"Passing Wind"
|
Another great picture from Steve Walsh's Fairwind "Passing Wind".
Ontario is 30 feet from the front of Steve's house. His neighbor and Steve have a
triangular course set up right in front of the house and races the boats
while sitting in our front yard.
I wonder if he would mind if we all brought our boats
over for a week regatta?
