The ideas that normies don't sail isn't true. I'm a normie and not rich and I started a sailing school because it's fun as hell. You don't need ^to ^own a boat to go sailing, you only need to know how.

Can confirm, especially the smaller sailboats like lasers and such. You can get going insanely fast on a windy day on the lake :)

Sunfish are the best. Why, you ask? Just scroll down until you see something... 'jolly'

spoilerNow, these aren't official class sails, but who is going to be racing a sunfish anyway, right? ;) I'm also shocked at the price increase. I paid $150 for mine 10 years ago, which is 1/3 of the true class sails needed for racing.

I don't have space for a mini sailboat right now, but these do look fun as a hobby someday :3
