Hello all! Any tips on taking a small boat like a Flying Scot on Lake Michigan?

Pick your day, watch the weather and stay out of my way, you''ll be fine.

Set the boat up for quick and safe reefing in case you misjudge the weather--furler on the headsail or at least a downhaul, and for sure one reef in the main that doesn''t take a genius to put in. The rest would be judgement and common sense.

I second Denr''s motion, with the exception of the "stay out of my way" part - I don''t sail on Lake Michigan anymore.

I used to sail a Chrysler Mutineer on Lake Michigan on nice days - there''s usually a suitable weather window of about July 27th to Aug 8th, give or take 12 days... don''t miss it!
