Texas Law requires everyone UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE to complete the safe boater education course before sailing a vessel of 14 feet or more OR operating a motor vessel of 10 hp or more, unless accompanied by a person 18 years or more. There are further restrictions for personal watercraft and for carrying people for hire. If you are 18, in Texas inland lakes, and not getting paid, you can pilot any boat you like, but you are still required to follow all boating regulations. The safe boater education course is a very good idea, take it, you will learn something, and be a better boater. I do not offer this course at present.

This is our best video so far, which we did for John on Friday, 3/21/08. The new Panasonic GS-320 does a much better job with it's Leica lens and 3 image sensors than our past GS-35's. You can watch this video in full screen!

We went to Canyon Lake and crewed for Forest in his Hunter 23, and made a video of the 2006 Wurstfest Regatta. We took 3rd place in class and had a great time.

We had a bit of flooding on Sandy and Walnut Creeks yesterday, Oct 10.

October 2006. On the first day of the month I got some good video of Mike Flying the Hobie 14!, and if you've ever had trouble tacking a Hobie, see How to tack the Hobie 14

On returning from England we discovered we had the wrong bag! We called United Lost and Found to report it. Interesting what United is doing to save money.

Alison and I received the 2nd place trophy at the HOT Regatta on Stillhouse Hollow, but I think we were really about 5th. Jenny Loehlin was 1st in the Portsmouth class in her Harpoon 5.2.

Here's a couple of short videos from the 2006 H.O.T. Regatta on Stillhouse Hollow September 9/10, 5 MB

8/29/06 Went to a concert yesterday in Presteigne at St. Andrews Church where Alison's daughter Sally played her harp. Then spent the night in nearby Kington at the 300 year old Church House B&B which is really quite nice. Right on the border of England and Wales, the area is beautiful with history everywhere.

8/26/06 We saw the Victory, the Mary Rose and the Warrior today. Took a cruise through Portsmouth Harbor and had a fun day. The Victory is an awesome ship, still commissioned, and in dry dock #2, ready to sail.
HMS Victory

8/25/06 We're in Portsmouth today, after a wonderful visit with Aunt Ethel in Wotton under Edge yesterday. Finally found a decent sailboat which we'll visit tomorrow. It's the HMS Warrior, but we're looking for the Victory which is also here in town, I'll get some more pics tomorrow
HMS Warrior

8/22/06, We toured London a bit, more pictures will come later when we have more time to work on them.
Tower of London, click here for larger pic

8/18/06, We found wireless internet at the Old Orleans pub in downtown Reading next to the Kennet river. Nice place to work!

8/17/06, We have arrived in England, severe jet lag but I'm back online at Alison's daughter's house in Reading.

8/15/06, Alison and I are on our way to England to visit her kids, so the website updates will be slow today (no internet access on the plane). Should be back online tomorrow, hope I get to go sailing in the English Channel and some lakes while we're there!

Before we closed on the house in Sandy Harbor, we went by and took a video of Alison getting acquainted with the current residents. If you can last through the video of our wedding, you'll see why we moved here.

Sailing Texas test sail, can a Hobie Mirage kayak sail upwind?

As many of you know I'm married to Alison Pryce. Fittingly, our first date was New Years Day, we helped the race committee at the Austin Yacht Club's Red Eye Regatta. While she is a sailor, music is her main love, she was the first woman musician at the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London at the age of 19. I hope you will all visit her website, Music 4 Musicians. We hope to meet you all on the water!

While living in Austin with Alison, I finally went to the Austin Veloway, it was NOT what I expected at all!

I have begun the long process of putting my sailing class on the website. See the first installment, How to tack the Flying Scot. This may take years, in the Videos section learn about some knots.

My first sailing video on the site was at the 2006 Easter Laser Regatta. Scott Young took the left end of the starting line in race 2. In this video you can see his start strategy, he is sail #177033 just past the orange chase boat. Sitting on the line, at 2 seconds before the start he leans his boat to leeward. At the start he pulls it back to accelerate across the line, then as soon as he's across he bears off a bit and does a quick roll tack to cut in front of all the racers still on starboard tack. A beautiful start to go on to win the race. Click the start triangle once or twice to play the movie, this video requires the Flash plug-in and audio.

Now it's easy to search Sailing Texas.

The 2006 Easter Laser Regatta was April 15/16 at the Austin Yacht Club on Lake Travis, Texas. It was much warmer than 2005!

3/25 Results of the 2006 Bridge Too Far Race on Stillhouse Hollow Lake, Texas. One of my favorite races, the Stillhouse Hollow Sailing Club always has fun with this race!

3/10/06 I test sailed the 2006 RS Feva

We went to the 2006 J/24 Mid Winters in Tampa, Florida Feb. 19-26. See the road trip to Florida and back via Atlantic to Galveston.

AlisonI hope you will visit my wife Alison's other website, Blue Diamond Music. She works with composer Michael J. Lewis and has several CD's that are wonderful to listen to on a relaxing sail.

Shorty pointed me to this New Zealand website with some awesome sailing videos, www.openboat.co.nz

Happy New Year indeed! The Austin Yacht Club on Lake Travis hosted the first regatta of 2006 with it's Red Eye Regatta on New Years Day. This was my first "date" with Alison, who I married 7 months later. See the Events page on their website for upcoming regattas. I was there for the Red Eye and took lot's of pictures with my new camera, see them now. It was indeed a good day, January 1st of 2006, high in the eighties, wind was 10 to 20 mph, about 40 boats racing on a lake with almost no powerboats in sight. Isn't life grand?

I went sailing on Lake LBJ December 29, 2005 with these nice folks from Austin. Really nice day in the 70's. First pictures with the new camera!

11/29 The 2006 Sailing Calendars are now available in the Sailing Texas Bookstore! Good Christmas gift for a sailor, don't you think? While I haven't had time to put the 2007 calendars on the page, you can still go there and order them from Amazon. When you do Sailing Texas will receive a small commission.

Tis the season to be jolly! I just found MY Christmas present, a new digital camera by Panasonic with 6X optical zoom and Optical Image Stabilization (so I can take good pictures while sailing!). For about $209, great pictures and free shipping, check out the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2 at Amazon. I really like this camera and am learning how to take videos and put them on the website, to see my first online video, taken with this camera, see the Video test page. It takes pretty good videos for a small camera.

sailing on Hoover Resevoir, Columbus, OhioI was in Ohio in early August, this picture is on Hoover Reservoir just east of Columbus. Also went to Lake Erie and sailed on the Scioto River in Columbus.

For non sail boats, motor boats and watercraft, see the classified sections on PWC Texas. Free ads just like Sailing Texas, but for motorboats and personal watercraft.

6/23/05 - I attended the 2005 J/24 Texas Circuit races in Corpus Christi.

5/25 I put together a Texas Regatta Index for the pictures from Texas Regattas I've been to.

4/27/05, See some pictures of the Austin Yacht Club Centerboard Regatta! April 30/May 1 on Lake Travis. Great racing!

3/26/05, I volunteered for race committee duty at the Easter Laser Regatta at Austin Yacht Club so the classified ads are delayed until Monday.

3/10/05, The annual 2005 Stillhouse Hollow Sailing Club's Bridge Too Far race was Saturday, March 12!

2/7/05, See pictures and results from the 2005 Muy Frio Regatta at the Austin Yacht Club. It wasn't very cold and the rain missed us both days! Sailing Texas was glad to sponsor the first Muy Frio Regatta on Lake Travis February 5/6.

This was the last regatta for the 2004 Summer Texas Centerboard Circuit. Kyle Smith and Morris Camp of San Antonio did a great job, the TCC circuit was 7 regattas, and proved that Portsmouth handicap racing is fun. The first 3 places were only 2 points apart!
1st place, 15 points, David Luckenbach, Flying Scot
2nd place, 16 points, Morris Camp, Coronado 15
3rd place, 17 points, Jennifer Loehlin, Harpoon 5.2
4th place, 25 points, Bill Gillilan, Dolphin 17
5th place, 41 points, Kyle Smith, Buccaneer 18
See the final standings on the Texas Centerboard Circuit website.
If you have a centerboard boat, and you want to race, the TCC is a great circuit. You get to go to different lakes and experience the hospitality of several yacht clubs across Texas. The winner this year wasn't decided until the last regatta!

Sailing Texas was proud to sponsor the Stillhouse Sailing Club 2004 Heart of Texas Centerboard Regatta, Sept. 10/12, 2004. And proud of user donations helping Sailing Texas sponsor the 2008 Heart of Texas Regatta! Hope to see you there this year!
