I'm kind of new at the big boat thing. I have owned it for 2 years now and have had some great days sailing but no with any wind really. Well this weekend will offer a cold front with some good wind to practice in Here is what the weather man is calling for.
Sat NW winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft...subsiding to 3 to 4 ft in the afternoon. A chance of showers...mainly in the morning. Sat Night NW winds 10 to 15 kt...increasing to 15 to 20 kt after midnight. Seas 3 to 4 ft. Sun N winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. Sun Night NE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft...building to 4 to 5 ft after midnight. Do you think I would need to reef in this weather? Like I said I have had plenty of days in 8 to sa 14 knots of wind. So what’s your recommendation to a newby in this weather? Thanks for your help. Keep in mind my sail inventory 1) Working head 110% sail with 2 reef points. 2) Working Main sail 3) Racing main sail 3) 135% Genoa 4) 155% Genoa 5) 170% drifter 6) asymmetrical kite with sock. Thanks again for your help. I need anybody’s specific advice on how the C&C 30 MK1 handles this kind of air. -- “Sailors, with their built in sense of order, service and discipline, should really be running the world.” - Nicholas Monsarrat _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
