A nice sailing venue like the chesapeake is wonderful. Or in my case, one of
the Great Lakes like Michigan or Superior.However, as I was told many years ago
on another comparable issue, halitosis is better than no breath at all.So for

Hi Jim,
Is this a hard dinghy, d'flatable (with x type floor) or a hybrid?
I'm intrigued by the high pressure floor d'flatables but haven't
tried one yet.
Only an optimistic person calls them inflatables 'cause that is not
their preference from what I've seen.
Cheers, Russ
Per Neil's description of sailing on the LakesHeck, I'd like to have those
conditions! We sail on the Ohio River which is generously listed as a mile
wide, but of course, is verrry long(938 miles); we tack a lot!

We towed a light dinghy all the way around Vancouver Island, and usually
set it for minimum drag, so 2-3 fingers of pressure in calm weather. As the
wind and waves increased, we pulled the dinghy right up on the transom so
only the back end is in the water. That also stops the wind from spinning
it
Mmmm J, just don’t tell my boss.

Hank,
I know I live between the tops of Skaneateles and Owasco. Unless the wind is
right, you would spend so much time coming about. Lakes aren’t very wide, but
your point is well made.

Having had a boat in charter, my experience is that they’re not interested in
spending time taking care of the boat; they just want it out making money. I
ended up doing virtually everything except routine between-charter cleaning.
And some of the charterers did serious damage to the boat, tak
Maybe a small time charter would accept you into their fleet? You get to
enjoy the boat while on vacation but they take care of it.

Another possibility that is worth considering is to share the boat (cost and
maintenance work) with someone else. Obviously, you would need to know someone
you trust on all those levels (sailing and maintenance in your absence).
Good luck,

We love the Bay, but driving a 16 hour round trip to sail is pretty tough. Many
of the boats in my marina are owned by people that love 3-8 hours away. They
are 99% weekend housing and rarely, if ever, leave the slip.

I agree that Chesapeake is hard to leave for lakes. Best option is to find a
new job closer to the bay and move there. 😉

When we sold our C&C29 and moved aboard our 43' trawler, we kept track of the
time devoted to "boatkeeping". We lived aboard for 8 years cruising 31,000
miles. We found that while in port, boatkeeping ran about 6 to 8 hours a week
or roughly an hour a day. While cruising, boatkeeping takes a b

The yard works on the boat M-F and you step on Friday night and everything is

There is lots of sailing in central New York. The Finger Lakes stretch 150
miles right across the middle of the state and there is sailing, marinas and
yacht clubs on every one of them. Also on the big lake Onandaga near Syracuse.

Hi Neil, I have a coworker that is in the market for a club racer. This boat
may fit his needs. I'm going to mention this conversation to him. I think he
would be willing to sail it home from MD.

Neil,
On the plus side, bringing the boat up to NY means it will live in fresh
water and require far less attention to corrosion prevention and bottom
painting moving forward. Yes, you'll have a shorter season than in
Maryland, but it seems right now that you have no season at all if the boat

Thanks Joe. The problem up here (2 hours north of me is Lake Ontario, the

The Maritime Museum sounds like a worthy cause.

I am not sure how being on the Shore changes the value of the boat one way or
the other.

minutes from my house and the ability to keep up with boat chores declined a
