This last year I went in the opposite direction. I only raced a couple times since we got the boat and have been slowly getting it in shape.
Last year was my first full season of racing, recruiting crew, the whole nine yards. Recruiting sucks, but the races were a blast. So I put up with it. Someday I'll grow tired of the difficulties scrounging crew and will go back to sailing just when I feel like it. Big plus in our area is a relatively active group doing pt to pt sails. Less # crew, things aren't breaking as much, less stress, but still competitive bunch. Not a bad way to go.

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.
