First day of our club sailing season today.
Been blowing gales the last 2 days and still quite fresh with heavy
rain squalls.....I'm staying home where it's warm.


Oh c'mon that sounds like fun!

Risk of breaking something I suppose... in times past I had
the leach cut off for super-heavy weather sails. Obviously
not the thing to do with a brand new competitive main but a
blown-out sail is no good in heavy air to start with.

Flogging in a gale will age a sail real real fast, too. But
i love heavy air! A few months ago it was blowing in the 20s
and people were wandering around saying 'darn, too windy to
sail' and I said 'Baloney... c'mon!' Ended up taking out a
few people on their boat and having a blast... after a while
they even stopped shrieking in fear

Thanks for the response. Do think you'd post a pic of your boat if
someone else here asked...like Scotty, Doug or Joe? Or are they all
liars as well?

Oh, and for a liar I've got a nice webpage for my boat. Have a look!
