Re: Is Singlehanding >24 Hrs. Morally Wrong?

Is single handing your car (like when I drive from Manhattan to Northeast Harbor, Maine to get to the boat ) “morally wrong”? Seems to me that one can do a helluva lot more damage driving along in a...

Re: Jordan Series Drogue Launch and Recover Lagoon 450

I bought one of these (Jordan Drogue) a few years ago. Kept it in a sail locker for "just in case". But I have never deployed it in a survival-type storm. However, I thought that if I ever had...

Re: Winter stop over in Sardinia?

Hi

Never been to Olbia. Saw pictures on internet. Looks nice. And a quarter of the price? I'll have to check it out. Are moorings usually available? What would be the approximate monthly cost of...

Re: Winter stop over in Sardinia?

Hi

I'd vote for Palma de Mallorca (Club de Mar) which is well sheltered, with excellent facilities and a very reasonable concierge service (if you need to leave your boat unattended for a while)....

Re: Sailing very dangerous--for the elderly!

Well, I'm 74 and single-hand a Hinckley 50 yawl in Maine and a classic 15 meter schooner in Mallorca. Potentially dangerous irrespective of age. Being older one becomes more careful in general than I...

Re: Too big to singlehand??
