Regarding the request that CF start a sub forum on
singlehanding...
I think that to do so is akin to having a subforum on automobile street racing!
Single handing along the coast or island hopping short distances is fine. I was singlehanded in this respect for many years, on both of my first two
boats. To do so "over night, for days", leaving no one at the
helm for hours on end, is both illegal and irresponsible!
It is required that ALL vessels keep watch at all times. I don't want the entire responsibility of avoiding
collision at sea on my shoulders, because the other vessel has no one on watch.
If CF will not take a stand on this irresponsible practice, PLEASE don't encourage it by setting up an entire sub forum on the dangerous & illegal practice...
If you would pass this on to the others that are considering this I would appreciate it, so would the other sailors that take their responsibility seriously.
Singlehanding "with no one on watch", is illegal for good reason!
Thanks, M.
