Sunset Over The Laguna Madre

Tandem Sailing In The Laguna
I'm on the front board with my back foot on the nose of the other fellow's board. We are both on Bic Dufour Wings, it is 1982.
The nose of these boards was rounded on the bottom and the tail was dished out on the rear deck. If you drive the nose of one board onto the tail of the other it is a perfect fit!
This gave the effect of tandem sailing with two sails! It was much faster in this light wind than one board alone could go! It was a lot of fun. We could tack, jibe and sail at all points of sail.
At times we hooked four, five and even six such boards this way!
