The origin of Messing About In Sailboats
- The original quote is from Kenneth Grahame's Wind In the Willows: "There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

strangely, I don't really care for colored sails on Sunfish, but I really enjoy seeing the colorful spinnakers on other boats.

Lights are an important component in sailing safety. Coast Guard rules state that all sailboats 23 feet and larger must have lights on at night when they are not at dock. It is recommended that all boats display them regardless of size.
