A photo of one of my H-14Ts - a great catamaran for the solo sailor!

Hobie sailing is often considered a sport for the young...
But you really only have to be "young at heart" - - -

These are pictures of Derr Golladay, at age 83. Having sailed there for 20 years, Derr and his H-14 became established fixtures at our local lake. My Hobie and I joined him in 1998, and for nearly 6 years we were often the only two sailors on the lake. We really enjoyed our H-14Ts.



In 2002 (the year this was photographed), I tried to sail on any day ranked better than "slightly above average" (I worked on the other days). But Derr was unstoppable, and was "on the water" nearly every day that summer, even when conditions weren't that good (and sometimes, really not so good).

When I asked him why, he replied without hesitation:
"Because I never know when it might be my last chance to go sailing, and I'd hate to think I'd missed it."

What a cool story. I sailed with a guy in SC almost since I learned. His name is Henry Bruner aka "Hinge". He sailed a 14 with homemade sails when we first met. Later bought a Hobie 16. He developed heart problems over the years and was fitted with a pacemaker. Cat sailing would get him so excited the pacemaker would start shocking him uncontrollably and 2 years ago he gave it up. What a great guy, friend and sailor. Miss him on the beach. I will post pics of my 18 next week with all conversions currently finished.

I thought Panama City had the whitest sand around, but from that picture sand on the top of those hills give it a close running. I need to send yall some sand buckets!!!

great photo, we got 3 inches of snow in 1989...the whole town was shut down for 3 days! When it get in the 60's sailing stops....
