Hi Everyone,
I just joined Sail Knots and found this group. I love to crew. Leaving Monday for a nice cruise from Seattle area to Glacier Bay, Alaska. Then hope to head south in Oct. Will be looking for a crew position in the Carribean in late January - April.
Hi Dances with sails,
I have cruised all over the East coast of the US and the caribbean and don't see any specific trend in cruising boats. One of the most important characteristics (besides seaworthiness) is to have an appropriate draft. For example, a deep draft boat in the bahamas is a no-no.
Ahoy Cliff! A ringer here! Looks like you're my watch relief. lol. Im going go get ready for race day -we do that on thursdays -on a lake nodoubt -which also is not potable.
I suppose this is a good place to ask. Im curious to know the best choice of boat (all dynamics considered) for cruising most-all waters. Realizing there are optimal designs specific for each coast, what is the choice of many? Is it best to decide on where I want to sail, stick with cruising that coast for a duration then sell, get yacht designed for another coast and etc. This decission is an obstacle to me.
