Reply to: Is everybody ready for sailing?

[quote=catmodding]Over here in the Netherlands, spring is about to hit 40-year record low, with an average temp of 7.3c ( 45f ) in April/May. They even expect snow in the south at the end of this weekend. Took the P18-2 out in April, 2 times, it was cold, water 9c ( 48f ) air 12c ( 54f ) and winds around 5 Bf. In May I did 2 trips in the same conditions, but at least the last time the sun was out. At the last trip I managed to rip out the top of one the daggers and destroy the snuffer-hoop. While beaching I hit a rock so now the port hull is leaking . So, there's work to do on the P, wich is for sale :-(( Lots of work in May made it not possible to work on the wooden T. Got all the sails and parts, even a traveller for the jib. Due to new environment regulations its hard to find a proper place to sand the old paint of and see what's under that softspot . Managed to find a place where the T sits now for 14 days waiting. Rain and work makes it impossible to work on the T, you know on days you're off, it is raining. So, am I ready for sailing? NO !
