I've got my eye on a 30' c&c.....is this a stable hull to work out the
wrinkles. Guess you can "over jibe" whatever on smaller ones too, but
less square footage is less costly, for sure.

I really like the "dingy sinking by mother boat" I get a funny visual
when I try to imagine the scenario.

Curious to know where you do your sailing. I know south Georgian Bay the
best and plan to work out of possibly BayPort.

Rig or "head" damage through uncontrolled gybes (jibes. U.S)


That's a few quickies of the top of my head. But others here might like to
add some. We've all made mistakes.

Oh yeah.... how could I forget- Spilt beer!!!

if you have a smaller boat at first, the costly mistakes everyone makes,
don't cost as much.
