Re: Please (try to) avoid sailing/transiting through race courses

Pretty much what is said above.. You don't need your own boat to get experience. What's more important do different kind of sailing and boating in general. Even river rafting with canoes, how to...

Re: For those who are cheering on the City of Miami Beach

A good business opportunity for some liveboard. Pay the dinghy fee and establish "liveboard" water taxi to drive all the others for their errands..

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

Turning to stb was most likely at least partially caused by the sudden stop of propulsion. There's always propwalk without counter rotating screws and the rudder must counter the propwalk (Dali has a...

Re: Dinghy garages. Pros/cons

Just a couple of caveats as price and beam. Both making it impossible have one for a lot of people so not a practical solution.

Re: Bavaria vs Jeanneau vs Beneteau

Re: Dinghy garages. Pros/cons

Re: Port Gruissan

Been in Gruissan once by land. Marina looked nice as the town. A good place to make day tours around if you are into it. Not far from Pyrenees or Carcassonne. Wines of Minervois. Did I mention caves?
