"Michael,
From experience over three keel boats a fully battened main is almost a requirement.
Not only will it make dropping the sail into the boom bag far easier it certainly reduces any flogging and vastly lengthens the life of the sail. While…"

Thanks for your note. We've never been down to the AC / Cape May area on our boat - only by car. We love it there, so I could only imagine what sailing is like over there, especially the Cape May area. We will definitely keep you in mind if we do ever head south. And drop us a note if you are ever up north.
Thanks again for your note - great sailing.

Both of the places I mentioned are on the mainland side of the bay. I have yet to find a resturant that has adaquet dock space or water depth on the island to accomidate a sailboat. We draw 5'. IMO your best bet is to pick a place and anchor out then dink in to meet up with your friends. Adpending on how far you want to go there is a great anchorage just bast the Brigintine Bridge inside Rum Point. From there is a short dink ride over to the State Marina. Actually during the summer we avoid LBI. just too many people.
