drying out

Postby Ian Allen » Fri Apr 06, 2012 1:15 am

So far I have not taken the ground, or dried out on the tide on a sandy bottom. But I'm quite sure a number of the other CC19 sailors have. So can you tell me, is there any need for legs or chocks of any sort, or will she settle fairly level?
Cheers,
Ian

Hello Ian

It is good to see the Photos you have recently posted.

With regard to drying out, check out the photo album of "Robyn" by member "Pugwash" some good examples of a CC19 "high and dry"
Cheers

High & dry photos

Thanks Dennis, those Pugwash photos of Robyn are great. A picture being worth a thousand words and all that. I simply wondered whether I'd need chocks or whatever, but it seems that if she beaches on sand the boat will find her own comfort and be reasonably level. Splendid.
Cheers,
Ian
