[quote=MN3]Thanks Bill, happens to the best of us. I saw the "old fleet" guys slowly sell off and disappear off the causeway years ago and hoped i would be able to last longer than they did. Not even close compared to Hanz (and Stu, our local chandler) who sailed late into their 70's like you.
I sailed well over 140 days a year for a decade, and probably over 2000 days since i got into beach cats in 99 - so i have no real complaints (besides my failing body parts)
[quote]I too have shoulder issues, mainly from an injury in the late 80's that required rotator cuff surgery.[/quote]
tore my rotator cuff in highschool - never repaired. Pretty sure i blew out the other one in a capsize years ago. It is so bad now that if i sleep on my side facing right, i wake up in excruciating pain.
[quote]Have you ever considered a Weta?[/quote]
I have sailed a weta before. decent boat. Not sure i would be any better with that boat - and they are pretty wet :)
but an option. I have a friend who's father had one and he let me take it out (years ago).
I would need to rent/demo one for 2 days before i would know if it would work - but an option.
(after one day i am really sore, after 2 days of sheeting i can't lift my arm for a few days)<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Jan 09, 2022 - 05:46 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
