What does the SC weigh, and what are you pulling it with?

Decided against the Reinel. I would go in my South Coast 26'A (
http://24.175.244.109/sailing/26again/ ) maybe, but really just want to do
a
little coastal sailing with her. Although SC 26'A have sailed across the
Gulf many times from Galveston. Bigger boat for retirement is the plan. I
would take the SC 26'A to Florida via trailer and sail to the Bahama's on
a
good weather window and maybe through the Keys. Having a 1,400 lb
retractable keel will get you off an unexpected sandbar in about 60
seconds,
just hit a button and raise it a foot or two.

Happy Sails

It weights 4,700 lbs. I am pulling it with a full size Ford 250. Two of my
sailing friends each have the same boat (that is why I fell in love with it)
and they pull, launch and trailer very easily. My friend Steve in California
pulls his several times a year over the mountains to Lake Mead with his old
blazer. With slip fees be so high in California, he keeps his on the trailer
in the driveway. He sets it up, launches and sails it about 3 weekends a
month. Takes him about 45 min. to set up and the same to break down and
trailer. He just got back from a 5 day sail to and around Catalina Island.
His sailboat's name is "Blown Away"

Okay, I may be stupid (that is relative), but under the "Where be ye" post I
was under the impression, some sailors here are cruising and have no port.
Is it possible to read the posts and reply to sailing.asa while cruising. I
thought you had to be online to access news groups. If there is some new
technology, please educate me. If so I gotta get connected!

In my town, the Public Library is available to everyone. And all
libraries have computers available to the public that have internet
access. We also have wireless available, so you don't have to go
inside. Just pull up in the parking lot.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

It's not necessary to be reminded that gay bums like yourself can "plug in"
in a parking lot.
