Such was the roll call Sunday…the flock of small sails looked like a scene from Hatteras…16+ windsurfers in full sun on the beautiful waters off Sebonac Inlet…almost everyone on a 4.7 (save the largest and lightest sailors).   Unnamed-3Sunny and windy on a weekend day?  Do your happy dance!   4.7 has always been my favorite sail size.  Until yesterday Scott claimed 4.2 as his preference, but yesterday he changed his allegiance.  Who doesn't love a 4.7 day?
