OK, now I know what you're talking about...I thought you meant like they do
in Florida with the boats stacked on each other in big sheds...

We do that here. It's relatively cheap.

Hey! Are you *really* katysails? When did you start posting with quotes?

ummm... I'm not getting something here. If it was easy, then it
shouldn't have been a pain.

Actually I am somewhat familiar with the O'Day 22, it's not a boat I
would ever pick to trailersail. It's maybe slightly easier to
rig/launch/recover than a Catalina 22, but that boat is truly a PITA.
Gotta wonder why it's so popular... maybe the advertising?

Anyway, there are a fair number of boats that're more practical to
trailersail. You just have to look a little harder and carefully
evaluate the boat with that objective in mind.


... all that time re-rigging every time you want to
sail....

All what time? The Hunter 19 that we sailed & cruised for ten years
took less time to rig & launch than many people spend getting underway
from a slip.

I was never so glad as when we bought the 27" and got a slip for the
season....I prefer spending my time sailing and enjoying the boat, not
getting it ready or tearing it apart...

Me too.

Although the most constructive attitude might be the fellow near us who
trailers a Cape Dory Typhoon... he spends about two hours getting the
keel-stepped mast set up, double lowers, tongue extension, etc etc...
but he loves to fiddle with the boat and counts it all as 'time on
board.' Plus, it's a pretty little boat and lots of people come over to
talk to him about it.

Joe,

I do believe it was around there somewhere that the term "Whiskey with
Branch" came into being? Why don't you enlighten us "Damn Yankees!"

Hey Loco,

Lots of Lakes are connected to the Sea.
Some by rivers, other by conections to other bodies of water that are
connected to the sea.

We can excuse you though. We know that you live in the only State in the
Union without a single Natural Lake in it. So we don't expect you to be
very knowledge about Lakes.

Mike's on the South River? No wonder he dosen't give a Rat's a$$ about the

Seems to me if I pay the rent I can let a friend stay in it for a few days.
Is that unreasonable? Unusual?

You could ask but most marinas consider your leased space still theirs to do
with what they want while your not there. For example I've never seen a marina
contract that does not have a clause that requires you to notify the marina
when your going to be away from your slip for 2 weeks or more. Why? They want
to rent it. Now imagine if your apartment complex had the same idea. People
would go nuts. Why do marinas get away with this!!! In my opinion if your
going away for 2 weeks and the marina wants to rent your leased slip you should
get the money for the sub lease.
Anyway, if you want to ask I'd love to park my boat in Annapolis for a
couple of days. What's the available time?

Haggie asked:

Unfrtunately, yes. Our former marina, and most around here, have it set in
the contract that the marina has the use of your slip if you are not
occupying it so they can make money on transients....we used to never let
them know when we were leaving because we hated coming back to a full slip
and having to rout strangers out of it....

Scott knows better. The last time he was let into a slip here he was
rousted at dawn and asked for a $60 transient fee.

There are a couple empty slips though,as far as I know....
