Which BYC member scares you?

I like sailboats. Motorboats just don’t bring the same adrenaline.

Best boating experience of my life was sailing over in Grand Caymen.

Though I was on the Sailing team for a year or two, sometimes I miss the adrenaline, but I do not miss capsizing into the <50° water lol.

One time we were sailing in 20knot winds, and we were racing towards the shore, all the other boats around us had already capsized, it was just us remaining. We had to gybe, something we generally try to avoid in high winds due to a high chance of capsizing, or crash. I was down to crash, that water was cold man, lol. But my partner wouldn’t have that, so we had to gybe. It was almost certain we would capsize, these were the highest winds we’d ever had. But with flawless movements from both parties we were able to successfully avoid both capsizing and crashing.

I've never been sailing

I don’t recommend it anywhere but down south. If I were sailing in Texas I wouldn’t have quit.

I have a couple times. Friend's family had a sailboat moored in San Diego when I was a teenager. We'd go over and stay the weekend on it and goof around in the bay on little 16 foot hobie cats. Not a lot of wind all the time in Mission Bay so we did a lot of paddling.

Then a few years ago when I visited Malta for work, one of my senior members of staff took me out on his 40'. Fun day. Again, the wind was kinda flaky so we came in on motor, but still was a lot of fun.
