I'm sure I can speak for most of us MN/WI Chrysler sailers that are looking at 14 degrees below this morning, that would LOVE to go sailing on Christmas Day.
Tell her that you need to go sailing for those who can't :wink:

Not good to rely on the lifeline, if any part gives out you'll be doing a man over board drill :shock:
The guys on racing boats sit with there legs over the side and resting there back against the side of the cabin.

I think EE's got the plan for you but you may need to go swimming to help feed the rudder stem back up.

I have both a 90% and an 110%.
For ease of sail handling I find the 90 is a easer sail to tack if the kids are helping sail.

Good pictures.
My son and his buddy had my Sunfish out last weekend in 20-25mph winds and had a great time. Heeling, tipping over, jumping wakes, diving through waves...as much fun as you could have with a PWC without the gas bill. 8)

Under power, at hull speed the back of the engine cowling on my Sailer 280 is in the water :shock: Also the stock motor...

I was going to ask if you took two dinghys. It's good to be prepaired.
