WOOOOOOT! I can't wait! If any Western Washington sailors notice this report in and lets go sailing!! Jim is already on board, one more and we can have a regatta!

Looking for capri sailors who want to make a regular event out of sailing in dye's inlet. If you just want to ride along that would be fine too. Kitsap County, Washington State.

Sailing out of Dyes Inlet into Port Washington Narrows the tidal currents reach 4 knots we sailed into it an hour after the tide began flowing in the currents stalled us, we turned out and aided by 10 - 15 kt winds and the current we were able to achieve incredible boat speed! Que bueno...

I am wondering what everyone uses for sailing gear. Keep in mind the balmy PNW has waters that fluctuate between 45F and 50F, so keep in mind that I like warmer gear. I am interested in trousers and a spray top specifically.

Anyone who wants to sail and lives in western Washington should post in here and we can get something organized! Thanks all!

My goal is that this is comprehensive. If it is then it may be of some help to sailors who get too excited and start forgetting things (myself). If it is not then additions would be very helpful. I am uploading the .doc file and I will post the text here. I am definitely looking forward...

Anyone have any specific opinions? The shrouds make it so that the boom can't be extended perpendicular, does this mean that the boat does sail directly with the wind optimally? Does everyone else ear the jib out to the opposite side of the mainsail? I call it the pirate ship maneuver. It...

I notice that as the boat gradually heels over more, the rudder is eventually brought out of the water and she turns into the wind. What is the max windspeed that is practical with a C14? I was out in 10-20 with a buddy today. Is this where I should be entertaining a reef point then?

Great day of sailing in Dyes Inlet in the Puget Sound. Greetings from Washington State btw. All of the advice I have received on this forum has been very helpful and I thank you all! Single handed today with the jib, stepped the mast with the jib halyard, didn't capsize. Great day. I love...

Would that be a bad idea to use the jib halyard to keep the mast upright while before I clip the forestay? THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSS:)

I was looking for suggestions single handing in moderate wind with a jib. Is it advisable to do this or should i just stick with the main on the 15 kt days? Thanks :)
