[quote=beachsailor]I have to agree with Andrew. Put out an anchore with a float. Sail up, get off the boat and tie off to the bridals, furl the jib, ease the main and put up the boards and rudders. let the boat float and go get the tracks. They do this in Dunedin all the time and it works great. There are several boats for big guys. I know, I'm 6'4" 245. I sail a Mystere 6.0 and solo alot. But this is not the only option. If the wife wants to stay dry you need to look into wings. Options are a Hobie 21. or 21 sport cruiser(Not easy to right but heavy enough to not be skitish. The hulls are bullet proof. Big enough to take all your friends.) Mystere made some wings but they were not stong enough to support over 450 pounds(ask me how I know). There are some after market wings for Narcras. There was a Nacra 20 in Daytona with wings. Even a Nacra 6.0 NA. I you intend on sailing solo look into power righting systems. with one you should be able to right most cats by yourself. I looked at the lake and it looks like a great place to cruise. Lot of interesting shoreline. [/quote]
