Again, welcome!
Not much choice on the Heavy-Air thing ; Lake Mohave
can blow 13 to 30mph on any given day and the cycles may
occur 5 to 7 times a day. When i kite board that lake i use
equipment that can handle the Full spread.
Sailing there , Ya
must be ready to back the power down within a 3-5min warning,
and your Always looking up-wind for the changes.
YES -- it's a challenge & i Love it !!!
As a converted Mono-Huller and sailing instructor, i can de-power a
40ft Yawl in under
5min , while in irons during a typical tack, (with a properly trained crew) !
BUT
This Ain't a mono-hull , and
any links you could send me on a "How-TO" for sealing
the Mast would be Greatly appreciated ; i take it, if it's properly
done then the Mast Float isn't necessary ?
