Re: Extreme novice asks for help

I started sailing about 30 years ago. One of the first things I had to learn was exactly how much I didn't know. There is nothing wrong with dreaming of sailing off into the sunset. I have done...

Re: Smart Phones, Satellites, and Internet

That is true. You can also use an Ipad or similar tablet. However, for either to work past cellular range offshore, you will need to subscribe to a high speed satelite provider and buy the...

Re: Stanley Paris calls it quits

I am glad he decided to abandon under the circumstances. He probably had between two to three million dollars in this venture, and was on a very risky trip. Even the Open 60s that travel the...

Re: what is the best navigation system to install on a 16ft dinghy?

Re: Gulf Crossings

From your comments, I would suggest the short hop plan too. I think you have a bona fide ight weight coastal cruiser. If you sail into the wide open spaces, you might make it fine. Depends on what...

Re: Boats that can handle a blow?

I can think of a few boats I have been on that handled some weather pretty well. First, a Pacific Seacraft Crealock 37, second a Hylas 54, and lastly a Shannon 43. These boats have a few things in...

Re: St Vincent vs Grenada

St. Vincents reputation is bad. There have been a lot of stories of crimes, problems there. The beaches are black sand and not fun. Might I suggest you fly into St. Lucia, charter there and do a...

Re: St Maarten to New York/Newport RI

Remember if you need bail out ports not all in the US have CBP available. So, to have a viable bail out port, need to plan for a customs stop first. Seems to me boatman61 is suggesting just about...

Re: Effects on Boat Sitting at the Dock

I think hiring some local yacht management guy to check on the boat is a good idea too. When a boat is unattended for such a long period of time, sometimes weird and unpleasant things happen to it. ...

Re: Mono vs multihull

I have sailed both catamarans and monohulls. They do sail differently. A monohull gives you a warning before it is over powered. It heals excessively and feels like it is getting overpowered. On a...

Re: Sailor Washed Overboard Drowns

Whether to wear a harness or not is up to the captain and crew on any given boat. Ocean sailing is not entirely safe, and it is not for me to call other sailors foolish who choose not to wear a...

Re: Need advice for sailing out of a slip in light winds

You didn't mention whether you have any current to deal with. But, in my opinion, if the winds are too light, and you have drift to contend with, there is no safe way to sail out of a slip unless...

Re: Paper chart sizes

There is no standardization, and it can drive you crazy trying to put together storage. What I did was get some white pvc drain pipe from Lowes, along with some end caps and the large screw covers,...

Re: Moorings Lease Arrangement

I had a boat with the Moorings a few years ago. It was based in Tortola. I think a wiser choice for me at least when I want to use a bareboat, is to just rent one. If I wanted to buy a catamaran, I...
