Sailing over to a camping beach in a week or two and will be camping (most-likely on shore) overnight. Anchor the N20 overnight or drag it up on to the beach? Beach it. Strap three 2" or larger PVC tubes under the trampoline (or across the hulls), use these to slide the boat up the beach.

Unregistered | we camp often - some sail beach wheels out - some just leave it on anchor overnight (for days on end)
really not an problem - just drain it when on land
the issues is when a front comes through at 4am and other cats (on anchor) flip in shallows, dislodging your anchor. then when you wake up ... and you cat is gone ... that's when you really start to worry. | | | Re: Beaching or anchoring my inter 20 overnight

Hook your main halyard to your boom and raise it to where you want and snug it up a little with the main sheet then throw a blue tarp over it and bungie it down at all four corners to the cross beams. Makes a great tent. You may want a tarp under you as well since it gets a bit breezy under the trampoline.

Unregistered | works great in ideal conditions, not so great when it's raining, buggy or windy. I would bring a tent incase That's a pretty good idea. If I beach it and rig a tarp to it, then I can leave the tent at home. | | | Re: Beaching or anchoring my inter 20 overnight

I use an 8X10 tarp and hook put the 8' part, fore to aft and the 10' part side to side. You can set the boom height to take up most of the slack and bungee the corners to the cross beam ends. I did this ALOT on my H21SE and even camped on the boat with it on a mooring out at Catalina Island in Avalon Harbor. I did put a tarp under the sleeping bags since once in a while a wave would hit from underneath the tramp. I liked the Hollofill type synthetic filled sleeping bags since they still keep you warm if the bag gets a little wet from rain or splashes. If it's cool out, you will feel a breeze under the tramp if you don't use a tarp under you. I've used my spinnaker in a pinch under us to keep warm. Long story short, I had to beach my N20 in the middle of the night on an over night race and we used the mainsail over the boom and wrapped up in the spinnaker and our drysuits to keep warm. Thank God I had a cute female crew with me ![blush blush](/forum/images/graemlins/default/blush.gif) It's a lot of fun to camp this way. Power bars and apples make great compact meals. Never pack bananas...unless you like baby food.

Good times watching JC's character try to car-jack an old lady only to get the beat-down put on him...
