6. Dragon again. This time I hooked up with Doni Altura a brilliant civil engineer. He owned Elan a beautiful Dragon boat. He outfitted it like a modern one-design racer. On this boat me as tactician we won three consecutive championships. Doni being an engineer we got to discuss the technical intricacies of sailing including aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, wood and metal stresses, naval architecture, Vernoulli effect, lifts, drags. I kept up with the discussion during the times we practiced and I learned and enjoyed a lot immensely.
