INTRODUCTION

About 10 years ago I got into Shark sailing to take advantage of the large local Shark fleet racing at my club. I had never seriously looked at Sharks before this, and was surprised with how remarkably well this Hinterhoeller design from 1959 sailed.

Sharks may not have a towering rig, or high efficiency keel design, but the fleet is superb and the fractional rig gives the boat very good balance. What amazes me about the Shark is how easily they surf along stiff breeze, and can still slide through the water in light winds.

We had 42 Sharks for the season opener at RCYC Trillium. Started out tied for first on Saturday, missed nearly every first shift on Sunday (including a 90 degree lefty when it should have gone right) and survived the weekend with a 5th. Keven June 2010
