| Post subject: | First weekend with new to us Gateway |
Sailing in the Chesepeake Bay. Saturday, took the entire family - me, wife, 3 boys (12, 9, 9). Is was blowing about 15. We had a blast. Too much weight for real speed, but we did ok. Later that evening, the twins wanted to go back out. It was probably blowing 10-12. With smoother water and less weight, we had a great time. Flew the hull twice. Sunday was just me and the three boys. Had a great time. I am a life long sailer (44) who has raced to Newport RI. We had been motor boatin for a while. Man, it sure felt good to get under a sail again. My a$$ is a little sore. We managed to rip to front tramp. I will try a temporary repair as I am sure a replacement will cost. Definately going to look to put a motor on the back. Tight channel getting from launch to river. |
