Things to remember

[sailingnewby]

When out there sailing, I find that there are a few things to always keep in mind even if you've been sailing forever:

Always remember that the boom is a deadly weapon waiting to ketch you off guard and relieve you of your boat and temporary conciousnous (Sorry spelling)

Always drop your keel, dagger board, center board, etc.. or things could get tough

AND NEVER URANATE INTO THE WIND. thats an important one.

If anyone has more to add to this list please do.

Drain plugs should be in before you back down the ramp.
Remember "Don't cross the beams!" in GhostBusters? In sailing, it's "Don't cross the lines!". Ropes seem to slide harmlessly over each other until the absolute worst time.

Remember to untie all dock lines before leaving the slip.

always remember to open the raw water intake seacock before starting your engine

Questionable rule. Can we discuss exceptions ?

Capn - you do that on the deck and you have to wash the whole boat!
