sandbagger.org: History |
 | | Sandbaggers were found on the sound, east to Boston, down to the Delaware, on the Great Lakes around Erie, and in Southern cities like New Orleans, Charleston, and Savannah. |
 | | To a fleet of sandbaggers could be added a few springboard sharpies, some tuckups (now being revived on the Delaware), and some log canoes (whose racing never died) for a grand festival. |
 | | In a relatively lightly built, widebeamed, shallow-draft boat with as large a rig as the sandbagger’s (her sail area is 1,136 sq ft), the stresses imposed on the centerboard trunk are immense. |
