Back in the 80's I was crewing on a J-24 practicing for the early spring Suma Cup regatta in Kobe Japan. It was a cold winter day in the PNW with daytime temps in the teens.
We pulled the J-24 trailer up to one of Shilshole Bay Marina's bathroom buildings and ran a hose to the hot water supply to wash the ice off the boat's deck. It was still much too cold to complete significant crew training and practice but the slightly warmer decks helped prevent frostbite at the movable ballast/deck interface during our 2 or 3 hour sail.

Actually, I've been in southern Illinois (Marion, flying through St Louis...) for the last week or so for work; it was about the same here this morning (+3F) as it was in Minneapolis. Not very good sailing weather, although the wind has been pretty good... :^) Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^( On Jan 8, 2015, at 10:49 AM, Ronald B.
