small boats

[kickingbug1]

 looks like im in the minority here, as im just a trailer sailor (cp 16) but non the less im happy to join in. if i know one thing its that i can learn a lot from expierenced sailors. even though my "voyages" only include a trip arround carlyle lake ( in illinois) i do enjoy reading about other peoples adventures- a sailor is a sailor is a sailor    you can quote me  (sanity is sailing)

Welcome, great people and great site. They have been very helpful to me.  I have a day sailor, com-pac 16.    Welcome aboard!

Kicking-

Don't knock those trailerable boats...some can do a lot more than most people ever guess or realize.  Welcome... and enjoy.

Nice to see you here, Kickingbug. I also sail Carlyle Lake, as well as the rivers and the Gulf. Let me know if you want to do the lake on a "bigger" small boat.

Hi Kickingbug, "I'm just a trailer sailor" you say. Well you have a boat and you're doing it. Think how many might explore new places if they could get there at 55mph. I was 5 days from Long Beach, Ca to Morro Bay, CA.

"I'm just a trailer sailor" ....I think you have it all wrong.I've had my trailersailor to Chesapeake bay,Buzzards bay,Lake Champlain,North Channel and so on. Try that with a boat on stands Those lil guys open up a whole new world in a few hours drive.The "just" part may be you "just" have it right. New motto..."have boat, will travel"  Have fun.

Not many boats can do 55 mph to windward. Don't knock trailersailers.

Hi kickinbug1

Welcome aboard,  Think you will find quite a few trailer sailors here.  I also have a CP-16.  Keep it on dock in Arkansas but have grand ideas of trailering to Louisiana and gulf coast area.

Warm weather to you

This is a note for KickingBug1 -- don't know if you and other trailer sailors know it, but there's a Yahoo Group dedicated to you folks with 1,530 members so far: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/trailersailing/

There are supposedly 520 Yahoo groups dedicated to small boat enthusiasts of one kind or another.  Gotta go check 'em out.

Luv2row- there's another trailer sailor group also. Called Trailer Sailor, interestingly enough. Many who post here also belong over there, including our esteemed CaptK Great bunch of folks- We consider many of them family.

Action there runs to 4 hundred or more posts a day sometimes.

They also have a separate forum just for ComPac owners.

Did you say burgee! 

[captain cajun]

Mr. Tim, are those plastic ties holding the flags to the shroud?  Hope it is, I need a simply way to attach my flags on the boat.  thanks

Yep zipties, something else I wish I had invented
