I did this a long time ago. The day has passed when a boat can be kept in competitive racing trim and go cruising in comfort. When I was a kid, Coquina could literally come back from a 2 week cruise on Friday night and be on the line Saturday morning and win silver. Now.......not so much. So I race on other boats when the urge strikes and Coquina is a second home for us. This is not to say I don't like to sail fast, but trying to get all the kids toys, blow-dryers, etc etc off and the racing sails on is too much of a PITA for us.

Listers, Though I thought this day would never come (and I'm not saying it has yet), but given the difficulties in lining up crew, keeping them committed on a regular basis, and the costs, I'd like to know people's experiences in transitioning from racing their C&C to a life of cruising. Anyone here done it? Are you happy you did? I'm very curious to hear your stories, including the successes and regrets, if any. All the best, Edd Edd M.
