Glad to see others in the Lake Norman area. I'm primarily a power boater at the moment but I'm currently restoring my little sabot so that I can teach my wife how ot sail.

Speaking of which, does anyone know the definitive answer as to whether or not I would have to register a sabot (8 ft sail only) on Lake Norman?

I'm the Endeavourcat at the Point marina.

Welcome to the forum, hope you find your cat and your slip.
Cheers,

Wow! I started this thread and haven't been back in some time...nice to see all the posts! I am still at Point Marina...still sailing, but now in a different boat...just got a Pearson 27 and love it. All of you in that area look for "Kokopelli" on the water and give me a shout out.
Again, thanks for all the posts!

Entlie,

I think I've seen Sunspot on F pier, unfortunately my cat's on the hard at the moment getting some new bottom paint and a bimini but we are normally in slip F28.

Should be back in November with any luck

We are in New Bern too - Northwest Creek Marina.

- Picked the coldest -windiest days for awhile to sail to Ocracoke Last weekend - and had a great time!

Just spent a few days down in New Bern, N.C. Lots of changes, kinda miss it!

blueayes · 19-10-2009, 13:16

Looks like a few are in NC. How many stay in NC and sail in the cold?

Strygaldwir · 19-10-2009, 13:55

Some of us have to be where the job is......for now.

Northwest Creek Marina here too... But sailing? What is THAT? Fire up the Perkins with no waiting for the wind on our boat.

Captain Bill · 26-10-2009, 15:19

We sail in the cold. It's usually not too bad behind the dodger. I nstalled a hydronic heater last spring to help with the cold weather sailing. We'll get to test it this year. I only have one concern about sailing in cold weather, shrinkage. It seems that my aluminum mast shrinks more than my stainless steel standing rigging. Do you other cold weather sailors re-tension your standing rigging for winter? I'm a bit concerned that if I do that and we get a warm spell (which we do have in the winter here) that the rig might be too tight.

sailvayu · 26-10-2009, 17:08

Shrinkage?

...........oh ok I thought......well never mind

Nice to see all the Carolina sailors here I sometimes feel out numbered by the sport fish boats lol
