[Leica] BOATING PAD - Sailing on "Bewitched"

[r.s.taylor at comcast.net (Richard Taylor)]

Thanks Sonny.  Leading all lines to the cockpit means you never have  
to go forward on a pitching deck to reduce sail.  It's much safer and  
something I certainly appreciate more and more as I get older.  OTH,  
leading them all aft also means the foredeck is a nest of lines so  
when you do have to go forward, say to pick up a mooring, you have to  
be very careful where you put your feet.

That said, the Stone Horse is my favorite pocket cruiser.  She's great  
fun to sail and perfectly suited for the waters of the Bay and the  
Sound.

The Bayfield sloop is a pretty little boat.  Where did you sail her?

Regards,

Dick
