I have assumed "Keeler" = "Keeler and Multihull"

 

that would have made it 25 options. :wink:

 

You will just have to live with that, lumped together. :wink:

 

Also forgot Radio Control Sailing. :oops:

Sorry this is way too vague. I'm sure there are many like me, I think I'm a typical NZ Boatie. Started and learnt in Dinghies, then over the years serious Dinghy racer, keel boat racer, Local cruising, coastal cruising, offshore cruiser. Oh yes, and lots of other boats as well - Competitive Whitewater canoeist, fizz boats, launches, pretty well anything that floats, for the last 50 years! How do you select 2 boxes for that? :D

Hey

 

Do we need to do a sub poll to sort out the options for the main poll. :think: :think:

 

I had to start somewhere. :thumbup:

IT like me, a man of many tasks. :thumbup:

dinghy racing, keelers (coastal racing), fizz boats(waterskiing), keelers offshore racing), Professional (offshore racing), mid week & weekend keeler racing, dinghy racing. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Hmmm a bit hard to answer, as others have said, it's a bit simplistic.

 

I've gone with (6) weekend keeler sailor, although it's really only a 16 foot trailer yacht, and ...

 

(9) Serious dinghy sailor, because I travel to a few Laser regattas each year, although serious is a bit of a misnomer.

 

Oh, and of course we head over to Westhaven for the annual Crew.Org rum race.

 

But then there's fishing, diving, swimming, kayaking, driving the rescue boat etc. If it floats, I'll use it.
