Anyone with moderate skill can lock into the straps and harness and blast along on flat water. Very few people by comparison can sail the ocean when its overhead and blowing 30. This is why when you go to hatteras, 95% of the people are sailing canadian hole and only a handfull of guys are in the ocean. If you want to push your skill set, the ocean is where its at and these skills will carry over to your flat water sailing.

amen! i'm not saying i can sail in overhead and 30 but the thrill i get from "open great lakes" sailing is where it's at for me. it feels like a blend of off- road motorcycle racing and downhill skiing in icy, gnarly conditions. the sensation of speed in rough conditions and feeling ones body work in harmony with well tuned equipment is
addicting. |
