Sailing without safety cover

   At our club you cannot sail without safety cover ever.
That said we have some form of cover at all times the water is open.

	It's written into our club lease that we cannot sail alone. Effectivly this means that we have either a safety boat on the water or a second boat for buddy sailing. When buddy sailing however I do not go out in winds that would require me to feel uncomfortable, and by uncomfortable I mean having the knowleage that I would like the safety boat on the water!!
