I love to push the limits and have grown a reputation for it at our club. But when I do it I will do it either close to shore, in an on shore breeze or with a support boat accompanying me. Our local Coast Guard are based next door to our club house but I'd never rely on them for rescue. They have better things to do than come to the rescue of some stupid sailor that deliberatly puts himself into a potentualy dangerous situation.

These are just my opinions but I am sure that they would be shared by the CG.


I'll bet they would agree, too. The trick is having the foresite to know those limits and the maturity to test them whithout risking other lives. The sailors who are the subject of this thread had neither.
