Lori, ??How do you like the sailing on Barnegat Bay. I bummed a ride last summer with someone who has a C320 & the sailing seemed nice. Right now I sail on the Great South Bay on the south shore of Long Island & am trying to sell my home. We are thinking of relocating to Jackson or Lakewood. Is dockage readily available? I am on the waiting list at Atlantic Highlands which takes several years. I know there are several marinas on the Forked River. Is this where you are? Where are there other marinas on the bay?
Thanks for your reply Lew -----Original Message----- From: LT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, 6 Aug 2007 9:43 am Subject: RE: catalina27-talk: Sailing with Genoa ( jib ) only I do the same, for the same reason. Good Old Boat had an article about the virtues of Genoa only sailing a few months ago too, that made me feel even more like it was ok every so often. There is a leisurely factor that makes it very attractive on a feisty day when you want to go out without an adrenalin fix. For me anyway.... If the boat moves ok with the wind at hand, then I agree, go for it. ? Lori T C27 1979 #4244 "Summer Place" Barnegat Bay, NJ http://users.nac.net/lorrainet/home/ ?

Mostly it was because it was an afterwork sail, or it was just way to windy out on the sound and sailing around the bay with the genny was nice and leisurely and like you said - set up and stow away time can't be beat.

I'm retired, live 6 blocks from my slip, sail single hand 5-6 times a week. Sometimes just a few hours twice a day. I've fallen into the habit of going out without unpacking the main. Sail jib only. Warm up the diesel, disconnect shore power, cast off mooring lines, back out and head for the gate---maybe 5 minutes. Coming in--5 to 10 minutes to batten down and head for home. When I use the Main it's 45 minutes to go out and 45 minutes to batten down. I haven't sailed the Main for 2 months. I feel like I'm cheating or something. Next time I'm GOING to sail the Main--for sure--and I don't. Wondering if I am the only one that doe this. I never notice anyone else out with the jib only. ???
