Bookmark or Share- Sail -vs- Motor Cruising? - SailNet CommunityI want to sail into the sunset and hopefully I will, but I have seen some pretty compelling arguments made for motors and motor sailers. Older trawlers can be had for far less $$ than sailboats. That savngs is enough to buy a lot of fuel and some of them use a lot less than I thought. Trawlers often have better passenger accomodations.

- Sailing in New Mexico?? - SailNet CommunityI lived in New Mexico, Albuquerque, for about 5 years and left in '89. Most sailing occurs on Heron Lake up near Los Ojos and on Elephant Butte late down near Truth or Consequences. I used to sail a lot on Cochiti lake which is between Santa Fe and Albuquerque, because I could head up after work for a sail.
- couloring of Dacron Sails - SailNet CommunityI think I would start with my absolutely worst condition sail and perhaps make a pattern with several types of paint: oil, acrylic, latex, epoxy, include stains, and see what works best. Hey, why not try some fabric dyes...tie dyed sails.. now there's a thought.... Do report back with your results...with photos Bests, Wiley
- Sailing up Coast of California - SailNet CommunityDon't be fooled by the distance; it may be only 500 miles or so, but it could easily take a couple of weeks. Many years ago I helped a friend sail and old Ericson 35-2, with very tired sails and an Atomic 4 that was really an Atomic 2-and-a-half, from LA to SF. We got to Port San Luis in a week. But it then took three tries to get from PSL to SF.
