I don't always get treated this nicely by Santa! I just tell myself (and the wife) that all my kayaks and fishing gear add up to a season's gas money on a real boat. As for getting there in a hurry, the rig has a surprisingly narrow wind speed window between 'why bother' and 'oh sh*t!' but my last trip of the season in late November was a great combination of fun sailing and awesome tautog fishing.
in whitewater I was known for being unsinkable on my right side --- used a scully stroke PB, the gift that keeps on giving :-)
im guessing if your already at speed and you get hit by a side gust on the sail then all you have to do is drag a blade at an angle for bracing, that's what i do in the river if I have momentum...

Machinery wise I finally bought myself a new AXA size wedge style QCTP kit that came with 6 holders instead of the usual 4. And as stocking stuffers an extra half dozen holders.
And a bottle of Peat Monster whiskey.... Love those Islay whiskeys....
And yes, how about a pic of the bike you're going to put the Cherries onto?

you can run a disc, tight though.. I actually managed to get a 300 or 320 mm rotor on one with 6 piston caliper... very tight..
lower tree may be off a Greeves.. actually.

Vintage cerianis. Nice. What are they going on.
Not much for chrissy. Little things like wuhanium carbide inserts, tap handle and other little ebay items that may or may not arrive due to the post office system being rubbish.
