Welllll, I guess them carnivorous particles can live a long time in your land down under !! I race a 12ft sailing dinghy on the other side of the world at club level. I live in the Puget Sound area of Washington State, USA. Neat! I have a little 9'6" Nutshell Pram that has a Balanced Lug sail. By luck rather than intent, in 2010 we bought a house on a little 5 acre lake. So,,,,, first came a used canoe. Then I found that pram for only $700. So I take it out under sail over a dozen times a year. and it's also good as a row boat. Once a year we go to Tampa Bay area in Florida. I've rented a Hobie Wave (14 foot?) there 3 times. That is quite a little rocket also. I rent it out of https://www.clearwatercommunitysailing.org/ If you click on "Boat Rentals", it has pictures. Do you own your 12'er? Haul it on a trailer? Is there a picture online? I just watch these guys and wonder HTH do they do it. Andy Best wishes to you. |

The boat: https://www.solosailing.org.uk/ will tell you more than I could. Andy Neat. So only the one sail, and it's triangular. So the sail is kind of same as Hobie Cat. Looks like all sailors are wearing wet-suits. And lots of splashing. So you get wet a lot? Do you ever go out with a passenger? I take it it is all in salt water? How far out do you go? How many months a year do you do it? Mine can be transported in the back of my pick-up. And then wheeled from parking lot to boat ramp with the 'shore wheels'. A couple of years ago the wife helped me and we went down to Sand Point (see similar at nearby: https://www.sailsandpoint.org/ ) and launched, and sailed across Lake Washington to near Kirkland and back. Besides our lake, I have also sailed at Lake Ballinger. I had contemplated sailing it on Puget Sound, but an experience of capsizing last year kind of kills that plan. |

Besides our lake, I have also sailed at Lake Ballinger. I had contemplated sailing it on Puget Sound, but an experience of capsizing last year kind of kills that plan. I don't wear a wetsuit in summer - but then the lake I usually sail on is only about 60 acres. Winter is another matter - surface drysuit. I have a wetsuit for in between. I don't get splashed a lot, and I rarely capsize. Perhaps I don't try hard enough. The Solo splashes you a lot less than a Laser, and it's that little bit higher so you don't have your butt (as you'd say) in the water all the time. Usually I sail all year. Our lakes rarely freeze. This year the government won't let us. When the kids were small I used to take one of them out with me, but there isn't really room for much more than a 5yo. They're grown up now, and never took to any sport really except hiking. Andy |

I don't wear a wetsuit in summer - but then the lake I usually sail on is only about 60 acres. --- So it is in the same magnitude of size as the Lake Ballinger I mentioned I had sailed in earlier. Lake Ballinger is a freshwater lake with a surface area of 103 acres in southern Snohomish County, Washington. It is bordered by the cities of Mountlake Terrace to the east and Edmonds to the west. Wikipedia Area: 107 acres Surface elevation: 292′ Length: 3,051′ Width: 1,969′ Island: Edmount Island Cities: Mountlake Terrace, Edmonds When the kids were small I used to take one of them out with me, but there isn't really room for much more than a 5yo. They're grown up now, and never took to any sport really except hiking. We care for one or two grandchildren a couple days each week. Nice. With them I & we most often go out in the pedal boat, sometimes the old canoe, and only rarely in the sailboat. Take care and enjoy your time on the water. |
