actualy, I''m in Ventura Ca, and after some phone calls got on a boat with a friend of mine. 17, but was born on a boat outside of hawaii, and has been sailing his own since he was 6 (small dingy then obviously) so I''m gonna spend a season crewing and trusting someone who knows what their doing first.
Last Wed started with 15 knot winds and 3 foot seas, but by the end of the race was 5 knot puffs. (marine forcast called for 20 knots at that point, from which we should have deduced it would be completley calm
) Thanks for the info though. I''ll probibly start getting my boat ready now so that it''ll be done before the next season starts.
