Sail a small boat day

"In a small boat you're with the water and wind and in the water and wind. It demands all of your attention to make the boat go fast -- it is the perfect mind-clearing experience.
-Doug Kidder, President of Kidder Racing, maker of the Hoot

Doug hits on exactly why small boats are fun. You are connected to the water more and the sailing is more pure. Not only are small boats more fun but since they are cheaper and easier to transport, they are more accessible than big boats."
