rental boats should have a protective strip on them .. they get beat up
locally - Sail honeymoon stopped renting fiberglass boats (g-cat's) as they were too much work and went to roto-mold trimerans
few people rent sailboats, most SUP's and some kayaks -
Totally agree on the winds call... not even blowing 20 by the looks of the tree tops and water (but video often looks much calmer than it actually is/was)[/quote]
