are we supposed to stop sailing in the winter? nobody told me. i try to sail the cat in the winter, but usually sail monohulls because the wife gets cold when the water drops to 70 degrees. i was in the water just yesterday (monohull race)unhooking our rudder from the committee boat after another boat sailed into us and pushed us into the committee. the water was about 79 degrees. damn cold if you ask me. i hate the bitter cold winters we get in florida (he he he he).

by the way, the other boat was at fault (see rule 18.2)
