My husband says it is very important to have seatow. I say it is a waste of money. You can call the coast guard if anything should happen.

The idea of sailing fascinates me and I've picked up books from the library just to learn whatever I can.

Today I purchased the only boating book that my local bookstore had, Steve Sleight's "The New Complete Sailing Manual".

I've never been around the water much and never spent any time on boats. I even have a tendancy to get motion sickness which I understand can be overcome by wearing a patch.

Other than reading and maybe joining a club to learn more and take lessons, I don't know what else to do.

I may or may not buy or build a kit boat for lakes in the future but I'm just playing with ideas for now as far as a boat goes.

The waters that I'm aware of around here for playing are Buckeye Lake, Hoover Reservoir, and Alum Creek State Park in Ohio.

I'm open to any advice that one would care to share with me as far as boats to own for a family of three and maybe a few friends.

Any advice for getting started sailing would be great too.

Thanks in advance to all.

I'm taking sailing lessons very soon and not sure what to wear. Keelboat sailing off Southern California. Cold but not too cold. Not dinghy sailing (22 foot keel).

I have some deck shoes but not sure what else to wear. It should get slightly cold so I figure shorts with a nice windbreaker? Warm jacket meant for the water? The only jackets I have are cotton and not really good for water..

Should I just pick up a decent sailing jacket? (windbreaker?)..

Any suggestions?

Hi All,

I want to connect the charging loom from my outboard to a battery in my boat. The motor has rectifier etc built in. What I want to know is what I need between the output of the charging loom and the battery? Do I need a fuse? Some sort of charge controller?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Im from the United States and I have recently decided to make a career change and become a merchant vessel engineer/captain. I know this will not happen overnight and that i need some serious formal training. Here in the states college tuition can be a bit expensive especially for maritime academys(25000 per year). I was just wondering if anyone could give me a heads-up on the yachting industy compared to the oil/merchant industry. Is the pay about the same. And most importantly, would you recommend UKSA's cadetship program for a beginner into this field? IF so, how do i contact them in order to register for their program

Hi fellow boaties,
So many different views on this
I bung two butane bottles in the gas locker, one on line and one spare, for the cooker & fridge. All is well.

Propane is cheaper, but of less calofic value, so which works out best and safest. ?

I know that large propane tanks are preffered by those that moor up remotely for long periods, but the convenience of butane bottles when I am not usually more than a day or two from a supplier seems best.

Any thoughts ?

Bob
