EBarnacle1 | BS: Can U canoe (30) | RE: BS: Can U canoe | 07 Jul 03 |
Rudder busted on a downwind leg. Managed to sail the boat to where I was going. Sail got damaged in high wind on the way back. Took a lot of long tacks with very little upwind capability. Trip out took 30 minutes. Trip back, against wind and tide took 4 hours. Good thing I had been trained in cruising class sailing, controlling a sailing canoe with a paddle in place of a rudder. If I were better at it, I could have made it back in hald the time. |
