Hi Guys,
Got a question for the shallow water sailors like those in Chesapeake Bay.
I'm thinking whether to buy TowBoatUS for peace of mind this coming season.
I've owned my boat for twenty years and though I do run aground a few times
each year, I always get off faily easily by backing out or

unless you're going far and need a tow, it sounds like you've got your
situations covered. I've used them once, when I couldn't start the engine
after a race. Of course, I was all of 1.5 miles off shore :(
I'm now doing longer races, including Port Huron to Mackinac. A tow from

I find it worth it. I got it through BoatUS and it covers ANY boat you’re on.

Yep...it is cheap even if you only use it once every 10 years.
