This is the reason it's taking me awhile to get comfortable with sailing.
I'm paddling tomorrow, Paul's racing the sailboat.

About SandyBottom
A senior with 2 kids grown and flown, married to Paul 30 years, a recently retired medical researcher, and was a sometime adventurer. Now, its ALL about the adventure. I was born and raised in Hawaii, and have a love of the outdoors, camping, the beach, and the ocean. I started paddling with white water in 1981 when I met my husband. My first real sea kayaking experience was actually on a sit-on-top in Kailua Bay on the Island of Oahu in 1987 while we were visiting family. Two children and years later, a chance opportunity to try sea kayaking again in 1996 resulted in a love and passion that provides me with fun, excitement, relaxation and/or exercise, and most of all, adventure. I’ve not stopped since.

But those boat are SO different than Dawn Patrol. There's so much more sail and so much less boat.
Think about the difference between a rowing shell and one of those short little mass produced 28" beam kayaks.
I was initially terrified whenever my boat would begin to heel. Now that I've made a bunch of stupid moves I realize how forgiving a CS17 really is...
