You Know You’re Old When….

We we’re pondering the graying of our sport the other day
and came up with a few:

You know you’re old when…

• you wonder why you don’t see bloopers any more.
• you remember when Dave Ullman "was just a kid."
• you get nostalgic at the sight of a pintail stern.
• you think multihulls are weird and don’t belong in racing fleets.
• think Windward Passage is the greatest boat ever.
• still think aluminum rigs are safer than carbon.
• you think AC boats are 12 meters.
• you still say "you can’t go wrong with Dacron."
• consider dinghy racing to be ‘junior sailing."
• think IOR was "the good old days.".
• you wonder why sprit boats don’t just "pull the pole back."
• think Sailing World is still good.

Got a few of your
own?
