I just joined this group and wanted to let everyone know. I bought
albin vega(smal swedish sail boat) this summer and I'd like to get
some tips about "guality" sailing...

You made a great choice of a boat for that size range. *It's way more
capable than you probably are at this point. *They have even made
circumnavigations.

I've never heard of "guality" sailing so I can't help you there.

If you would like advice about where to go, it would help to tell us
where your homeport is.

If you would like advice about staying alive, one of the major pre-
requisites for boating enjoyment, you'll probably get more useful
responses with specific questions about things that concern you.

He must be mixing his 'g's * with his 'q's.........i.e. * quality sailing??
If he was over here, I's suggest joining the Power & Sail Squadron for the
various courses and then a hands on sailing course at a local yachtclub.

I specialize in "low quality sailing" meaning I go places I shouldn't
AND have a lot of fun doing so. Depth less than draft, NO PROBLEM.
Bridge too low, NO PROBLEM "Yeah, we can make it, tides
low............CLANG". I don't give a sh** how good my sails are, I'd
use cold fusion power if it was available for cheap. Sails of any
kind and a good motor and you can cruise all kinds of places. Forget
what the idjit purists say, you wanna have fun and seein shocked looks
on the faces of yachties is really fun. Get a trashed out old boat and
just glare at em and dare the expensive polished yachts to not give
you right of way. (yes, it's just a game and you really act
responsible but some people just need to be put in their place).
Someday, I'm gonna do a cruising guide to real dives, gonna call it
"Cruising to Low Places". Gonna hit all the waterfront (or nearly so)
bars on the NW FL coast.
