I'd Rather Be Sailing Lightning Series

For the sailor whose ride is a classic. A finicky, surprisingly technical, 700-pound classic.

I’d Rather Be Sailing Lightning Series is for the sailors who know that chines matter, the exact amount of heel matters A LOT, and three perfectly reasonable adults can spend an alarming amount of time discussing both.

There’s a symmetrical spinnaker, three people attempting coordinated movement, and a ridiculously heavy metal centerboard that comes up directly through the place your crew has conveniently chosen to sit.

“BOARD COMING UP!” is less a sailing command and more a necessary warning.

But get the heel right, settle her onto those chines, and get all three people working together? This nearly 90-year-old boat absolutely comes alive.

Classic. Finicky. Completely worth it.

Yeah. You’d rather be sailing.
