Re: Second sail - jib only - is this unusual?

Your boat is light, so you should be able to hold a sheet (or two!) in one hand and the tiller in your other hand. Your boat has a sporty Sail Area / Displacement = 25.5, so you should be able to...

Re: Second sail - jib only - is this unusual?

Re: Is there a sunscreen that does not affect plastics

A Bimini and loose fitting clothes for sun protection. I find that shirts with buttons are breezier/cooler than tee shirts.

I have not found a suitable cool hat.

For snorkeling, I've been using...

Re: Time to chance course

If I was serious about a business like that, I would not buy a boat. Charter boats are already the best vessels for what you have in mind. Just charter a boat when you have a trip booked. Include the...

Re: Can 2 people live aboard and just be friends?

What I was trying to convey is that sex can be the glue that keeps together people who are otherwise only semi-compatible. Without that glue, two people that are merely semi-compatible will have a...

If you are interested in learning about sailing and cruising, there are dozens of sailing vlogs that are orders of magnitude better than Sailing Doodles. Try Sailing Emerald Steel.

I don't. But I know for sure that a person has not experienced something that he/she believes is impossible to experience.

Re: Can 2 people live aboard and just be friends?

A perfect example of pimping out the girl, IMO. Would you find that video series interesting if she was not aboard?

Re: How much is enough? Good size for a voyage boat

Regarding boat size:

My #1a priority in a cruising boat is a berth big enough for me and my gal to have lots of fun. I'm not talking about creative ways to use a cramped v-berth on weekends. ...

Re: Spear Fishing - Dangers

I share the disdain for spearing on air. I hope Americans don't go to The Bahamas and do it there.

Re: Hardships buying used boat
