I was at the boat today for a couple of hours to do some housekeeping but didn't have time to go sailing , but decided to pull the sails up to give them an airing. The perfect way to go sailing without worrying about navigating....  |

Marty I know - but I do like an easy life. but it is great to be able to walk off the boat at the same time as sailing.... Maybe I should just get one of the Kiade models of the J57 instead... M |

Marty. Sailing a30 footer onto the slip is a little bit different than a 9 ton 39

I bet I could sail a 39' 9 ton boat into the slip! No harder than my 30' 3.5 ton boat really, which was no harder than the 21'cb boat or the 8' pram, laser, 12' sloop I did as a teen per say. Things happen a bit slower to a degree, but the thought of the how, where etc to turn in , when to let the lines of the sail one is using lose, or furl a jib etc.

Hope to have pictures in a couple of months M |
