My engine is still not working so I went sailing with Patty on Pirate Girl. Winds were blowing 15 to 20 knots and seas were 3 feet or so… maybe 5 feet in the jetties as we went out.
We only put the main and jib out about half way and still were averaging 5.5 to 7 knots depending on the point of sail.
Pirate Girl is kinda like sailing a bigger version of Sea Puppy… Pirate Girl is a Beneteau 323 and Sea Puppy is a Beneteau First 235.
We didn’t stay out long only sailed for a couple hours. The tide was dropping and even with a 4 ft 9 inch draft pirate girl is having problems getting in and out of Mariners point and her slip there. We barely scraped in an hour an a half before low tide and had to pull the boat into the slip from the dock the last 15 feet or so, as she was dragging in the mud.
