What are everyone's thoughts about helmets and sailing? I've taken a few hard hits from the boom over the years and I'm starting to look at wearing a helmet. What do you think?
SD...please explain it to me I did not understand...did you gain weight again???sailingdog said:Hey, at least my legs look good...
Actually, you can tell it's a photoshopped photo, since it looks nothing like me-far too skinny for one......
No need on my boat at least... there's at least a foot of space between the bottom of the boom and the top of my head when I'm standing in the cockpit. My crew is less lucky as most of them are six feet plus...but still most have at least four or five inches of clearance...T34C said:SD- Perhap the easiest solution of all... Lower Your Head!

G- Please show a little respect for our sailing friends. We have spent a lot of time lately discussing proper terminalogy and etiquette. Not everyone has the same abilities and experiences as you. Sometimes we need to take a kinder and gentler approach when discussing the merits and attributes of others and their respective boats. Now say it with me: They are not "side kicks", they are Training Wheels.Giulietta said:Where are the "side kicks"??? Folded??
yup... folded so she fits in a single width slip...with room to spare...Giulietta said:Where are the "side kicks"??? Folded??
