[quote=ATCDave]Hello all,
What a great site! I've been windsurfing for 18 years, but am a brand new Cat sailor. The kids are old enough to enjoy/teach sailing to and I thought it was time to buy a boat. I just bought a used 2001 Hobie Getaway (sans trailer). Lack of a trailer isn't a problem as I live on a small lake here in New Hampshire where I will be sailing it. I don't plan to dock or moor it due to the great advice I've seen here in the forums.
My Question: can I keep the mast up and rigged all summer if I pull the boat up on the beach, or should I drop the mast? Also it seems to be a good idea to cover at least the tramp when not in use to keep it out of the sun - is that practical?
Thanks for such a great resource!
Best Regards,
