These sailors are all participating in a racing clinic. The support boats are mainly there as coaching, but yes, they would be there for safety assistance as well. You don't need a chase boat to go out in the bay for normal sailing. On a normal day, any one of those 40+ sailors would go out in the bay by themselves (inside the outer breakwater).thanks for the advice.... .it did concern me that were at least four or five support boats accompanying these sailors ...
Well, let's think worst case scenario, and you needed someone to go look for you. It gets dark around 7:30. If you told your someone that you would be back at 7, by the time they went out looking for you it would be dark. Until you are completely comfortable, plan to be back in a few hours before dusk, just to be safe. Leave the dock at noon, and get back in by 4. Bring water, not in case you get in trouble, but simply cause you'll want it.Great information steve, i will take it to heart....what do you mean by get in early? What specific time are you talking about? Thanks again
I would say you are indangering yourself. Especially if you have been sailing for 2 weeks only. You need atleast 3 more years of experience to be able to handle sailing in the ocean. There is a reason you dont see many ocean racing regattas in lasers.
You have room to talk about gramar?
