No,Stokes Bay, in a few months. I do love the extra dimension of waves, my only issue with the sea is they feel they have to use all of it. Long stable beats in a Radial are just a test of fitness, something I do need to improve. See you and the soon Musto soon

Both have their advantages and draw backs, esp for organised sailing - on balance for those time poor, then a local pond probably offers more 365 access than a coastal/tidal location; however it’s impossible to deny the purity and spirit of adventure sea sailing offers, especially when not racing

Are we talking about 'sailing' or 'dinghy racing'? If you've got a good group of people to sail against in the right boats,then racing inland can be great and is often more reliable than on the sea. But aside from racing, sailing on flat inland water is a shallow two dimensional thing compared to the sea where you have waves and open space.

Contrary to the impression I seem to have given in the other thread (hopefully now corrected) I also like both. Great close, tactical, racing with flukey, shifty winds inland and big courses that let the Blaze stretch it's legs, steady winds and waves on the sea.
The racing at my inland club is pretty high standard and very competitive, the costal club ,much less so and most of the sailing is blasting or cruising in company with just half a dozen 'regatta days' a year. Is one better than the other? No, they are just different.

The skill set is so different. Some of our top Solo sailors (Essex Yacht Club/Leigh-on-Sea Sailing Club) went to an inland Open meeting last autumn. Got destroyed! Chatting with one of our lads, he could not believe how good the local sailors were in picking the right place to be on the course, and boat tuning.

Mark 42. Ha ha, me also, "if you can sail out of this harbour" they said "you can sail anywhere" errr no, moved to a big inland water in hill country. They are went over there while I went here and when I went over there they went here. Maybe I'm a little better now but the first ten years were humiliating

TT. You've also put your sensible hat on.

The quality of the racing and the camaraderie of the club are IMO far more important than the salinity of the water

Start sailing inland and then finish your education on the sea. Its then horses for courses.
