[quote=Andinista][quote]Water proof VHF, signal mirror, helmet, cold water protection. I'll only be a couple of miles from CG station,.... not that I intend to make the call. Quote can't right the boat Possibility, but I'm building righting pole. Quote or maybe you separate from the boat, Biggest concern: I intend to sail close to shore, but getting separated from any sailboat, especially one that isn't coming back is particularly dangerous, hence, more emphasis on ability to withstand/ time/ etc cold water. I'd go out when its colder in the Laser as I know the boat. Best advise is sailing and getting familiar with the cat in warmer water when there are lots of boaters around.. -- Goodsailing Laser-Standard Rig H18 Building 19' Tacking Outrigger then Trimaran if TO doesn't work out. Balt-Wa[/quote] Getting separated from your boat while sailing isn't frequent and is probably a risk that you can mitigate mostly with experience, as you say. I was talking about a more frequent one: capsizing and not being able to reach the boat again. Your capsized Laser will stay in place but your cat will go away faster than you can swim.[/quote]
