Sailjuice Global Warm up handicaps

I do agree that the main benefit of the sea is the breeze, on the whole that is. Try Lyme in the summer and quite often there is less there than inland. The pond I sail on doesn't stink so I'm ok. I quite like sea sailing, but I prefer inland probably due to the practice there, and normally if its getting boring there is something to look at. 

Actually Ben I think maxi meant that the launching down the side of the pond is a bit steep & the situation that you remember is a differant thing entirey.

you are right Bert, I've only done the bloody Mary twice so not come across the log jam to much but those sides are steep

It is quite a steep & slippy slope. However you have to make your mind up when you see it as to weather you want to sail.

From my point of view I have turned up there to sail rigged the boat & watched about 8 or 9 boats launch & then wondered about how they were going to get out again.

I then decided that I valued my boat higher then the likely hood of damage & landing my boat against the steep stone sides was the final factor.

Drove home the 120 miles that I drove that morning & was happy with that decision.

 

Just MY choice when considering my boat & the weather was not fun, yours is possibly diffident.

Not wanting to digress too much but I have sailed at QM for the Blaze inlands. The slopes are steep but with a bit on co-operation between sailors launching and recovery is not usually a problem (unless you are the first back).
