MauganH17 - snapping the mast and all sorts of nefarious things make me reluctant to sail ocean side on OBX. I am leaving the Tiger at home and bringing the beater H14Turbo... The lack of any type of sailing rig out in the ocean in Duck raised my concern - not just beach access in my many trips down there. I am hoping for a good shore breeze to knock down some waves and give me a good day of ocean sailing without totally scrapping the 14. Am I missing some important concern? I have launched the H14 in the ocean in FL and SC without incident in the past.
