Question:
I have a friend with a small pond. I would like to know if a boat couls be built ofr purchased for the dog to be trained to get into the boat and sail himself around. Also it would be neat if we could take over from the shore, and speed him all around, doing donuts and scarring the chil dren or such. It would be like a 3 foot boat with room for the dog, a way to steer, and all the radio equipment. We would also want to put a little doggie Captain's hat on him.

Hard Water sailing?
For sure you could build one. You basically answered your own question though. Build a large scale Radio Control sailboat (search the web for plans and enlarge them for the size/weight of the dog) and put the dog (with his little hat on) inside the boat and shove it off shore. Use the radio to control the sailing while the dog sits and enjoys the ride. The only training would be to teach the dog to sit still and not move about while the boat was off shore. The R/C unit would be basic as all you need to control is the rudder because the wind will turn the sail "about" as you go. Should make a hilarious video for the net too! You could be famous (or at least the dog would be)! David Letterman does stupid pet tricks all the time! Good Luck!

What is the better cruising sailboat for the beginner? A Hunter or Catalina?
Well you would have to have a very good trainer to teach a dog how to sail, and it would probably cost a lot of money for a trainer small boat and other equipment, but if you want really want to shell out the dough then maybe it could be done.
