Yes to on the hard. However three clubs in Halifax provide some in water storage using bubbling systems (RNSYS, AYC, DYC). This is mostly for larger boats. Season starts about now (racing has been underway for three weeks I believe at RNSYS and the first open regatta was last week at AYC) and ends typically by mid - end October. The last open race is typically Die Hard Race out of AYC around Oct 23. Two years ago was 7 deg North Wind 25+ knots on that race. Most boats have begun haukling by then. On Northumberland Strait it gets cold or rainy after about mid Sept so boats tend to launch a couple weeks later and haul a couple weeks earlier than in Halifax and in Charlottetown etc ... Sailing is AWESOME in Halifax in the Fall! If you are the kind of sailor that loves a quick sail where you get back to dock with all your charts and other items on the cabin floor after a sail then you will love a typical Fall Day here. Mike

Thank you very much for taking the time to write... and so quickly! Do the boats go on the hard for the winter and how long is the sailing season?!? I have yet to visit but the next trip I take will be to see the east coast with my girlfriend. Neither of us have ever been though I've been out west several times. It's cloudy out there and there are a lot of hippies.

You can have the world as your destination if you have time. There are many little islands and coves to anchor in and there are 5 clubs in Halifax to choose your racing from. There is a Metro circuit if you want to race most weekends. Cruising down to Chester is about a day's sail. Tidal range in and around Halifax is about 6 feet. Lots to do and see. There is a cruising guide available at "the Binnacle" ca.binnacle.com to get an idea of cruising around here. I moved back from Ottawa, and enjoying life here on the "Right" coast and am really enjoying the sailing here in Halifax area. Of course, I've always been used to tides as I grew up here and have a cottage on the Bay of Fundy where I have 43 feet of tide at 12 knots or so... -- Cheers, Jeff Nelson Muir Caileag C&C 30 Armdale Yacht Club On 05/22/13, Stevan Plavsa <stevanpla...@gmail.com> wrote: Hey Bob, question for you from a Torontonian that's getting tired of this city .. what's the sailing like out in Halifax? I'm sure it's a lot more interesting than Lake Ontario but coming from a lake I've never dealt with tides and currents. Is the sailing very challenging out there? Do you haul your boat over winter? I work at OCAD University and I check the job postings at NSCAD pretty often. Nothing yet but I want to stay in higher ed, particularly art & design and Halifax is very appealing. In fact, the east coast in general is very appealing! Steve Suhana, C&C 32 Toronto On Wed, May 15, 2013 at 10:54 AM, Stevan Plavsa <stevanpla...@gmail.com> wrote: Thanks Bob. That certainly explains the fitting/tube thingy on the floor of the vee birth.

A few of the 32 owners here have simply taken their baby stay off the boat(s). Since Rob Ball designed it there, I have left mine on. It does make tacking a little more cumbersome.

I figured I'de be ok but your feedback leaves me with some peace of mind and that'll make the job, any job, easier. Bob, no baby stay on mine . weird eh? I know the 32 had one, mine doesn't. However mine does have a weird metal tube thingy on the floor of the vee birth .. right by the door. The surveyor guessed that it might have had something to do with a baby stay though there is no evidence on deck of there ever being one. Is your baby stay just connected to a fitting on deck? I'm hull number 59 so I figure by then they would have settled on how they were building these but i guess not.
