Dinghy Sailing is a major passion of mine.
Sailing provides not only a physically and mentally challenging sport but can actually verge on a
spiritual experience.
Visiting seafarers may find interest in the pictures and information on the
dinghies which I have sailed, like to sail and/or thought about sailing. 
When a butterfly flaps its wings, the universe trembles. However, I make no guarantees in this regard and I reserve the right to be wrong on this or any other opinions expressed in these pages. Christoph Moshe Harlan Site Search and Disclaimer |

The purpose of this page is to round up and summarize a number of dinghies that might be considered by others who (1) are in search of a small sailboat, (2) have similar Search Criteria and (3) wish to get an admittedly biased overview. Some dinghies are strictly daysailors while others lend themselves to bigger dreams. I came across one delightful and well-written account by Craig Ramage of a cruising adventure on a CL-16 (the Canadian version of a Wayfarer) which is a case in point. This site is the first and only Unofficial Harpoon Sailboat WebPage. Most of the material focuses on the Boston Whaler Harpoon 5.2 as well as the Harpoon 4.6. The Harpoon 6.2 is also represented and much information pertains to all three boats equally. If you have any relevant information on or about Harpoon Sailboats, please submit it to me for possible inclusion on these pages. I thought you'd have to be an olympic skiffer to have THAT kind of fun. WRONG! The MX-Ray is very approachable. So, are you ready for the wildest ride ever? If this page wets your appetite and incites your desire to get more info, you will find the M-Yachts link useful.

In Western Pennsylvania, there are some very excellent sailing lakes. The lake most conveniently located to Pittsburgh is Lake Arthur [Interactive Map] in Moraine State Park [site]. If you live in South-Western PA, you might consider joining fellow dinghy sailing enthusiasts at the Moraine Sailing Club. Without a doubt, the finest sailing lake in these parts is a bit further north - Pymatuning Lake. Both of these lakes have a 10 hp restriction thus ensuring a very sailing-friendly environment. Similar in distance in the opposite direction is Deep Creek Lake. in Garrett County, MD. Even Lake Erie and Chautauqua Lake are not too far (about 2.5 hours) to qualify as sailing destinations.

The Kabbalah of Torah Jewish Mysticism is a wide field ever expanding by the continuous flow of concepts, notions and practices by Jewish sages of higher knowledge and prophetic wisdom. The Hebrew term KaBaLaH first found frequent use in the 12th century. The root of this word KBL is directly related to the word KiBeL (receive) such as mosheh kibel torah mi'sinai (lit: Moses received Torah from Sinai) the phrase from Pirkei Avot referring to the arguably greatest mystic event in Jewish History. The Hebrew root KBL also connotes "accept", "adopt" and "welcome". From that same root are derived maKBiL "parallel" as well as haKBeL "opposite", "parallel", "meet". How can we explain this dissonant chorus of meaning? These at first glance contradictory words actually reflect the "unified paradox" which is the essential element of any mystic truth. Thus, Kabbalah - by its very root meaning - embodies the millennia old quest to bridge the mystic gap, that elusive cusp of our reality - surrounded and embraced by the incredibly delicate balance of dynamic opposites which form harmonious, complementary, parallel realms. The Kabbalah Page provides access to various articles on this subject with an emphasis on one of these seventy face: namely, the one which illuminates the extraordinary relationship of letters and numbers in the Hebrew Letters of Torah. These two components are unified into single spheres of meaning and work together in harmony to express the infinite message. The interested novice should first study some introductory texts on the subject because a basic understanding of the principles of kabbalah and gematria fundamentals is assumed. A lay-person's familiarity with the Hebrew Alef-Beit and some Torah Hebrew will be most helpful if not essential. If - after reading the preceding - you feel ready to continue, please KNOCK at the gate and you shall enter the Garden of esoteric fruits. Help, I can't find the gate!

My Family If you are interested in silk art - paintings, patterns and designs - you might enjoy visiting my sister's Silk Page. Sabine Harlan is a consumate artist who also works as an art therapist. She enjoys to infuse silk with her creative energy. Have a look and you'll see what I mean. On the other hand, you might be curious to learn a little bit about the enigmatic Bronze Age Petroglyphs scattered throughout Sweden. My father studied this subject extensively and the resulting documents (primarily in the form of rubbings (frottages) are not only fascinating in their message but also unique pieces of ancient art.
