[quote=CatFan57][quote=pknapp66]Setting up for a day or two is a pain but at Champlain we go for a week so it is worth it. If you were to join us there would be plenty of help to setup, breakdown, and move your boat. Everyone usually pitches in when a boat arrives. That said we traveled over an hour each way for a one day 20 mile sail on Lake George several weeks back. All 4 boat crews agreed that it was well worth doing.
On a side note moving our 300 lb Tornado on wheels is pretty easy for 2 of us. Not so for the Nacra 6.0.

1. Don't know that I'll end up doing it, but sounds like a great time, esp w/ a group doing it, and esp since I have a serious yearning for some fresh water sailing, hopefully someplace where winds can be counted on, so wanna see what sailing Champlain's all about. Sounds like you could have a pretty good lifestyle living on that lake.
2. If you like Tornadoes, I bet you'd like this high quality on-board video posted just @a month ago from the Tornado European Championships: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGM0nSvjGhM[/url]. I was glued through the whole thing, really shows what racing them is like. Interesting how they position their weight to keep the transoms out of the water so much (think I saw some advice about that in the literature Klozhald archived about sailing P18.2/P19s).
3. I don't get how these older design boats that are 20' long and 10' wide can come in at only 300lbs when my 18.2 (based off the same design) is 375lbs.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by CatFan57 on Nov 02, 2018 - 07:50 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
