Wow, that looks less sticky than most monohulls these days.
In Response To: Skeg-protected folding prop

() You shouldn't have any problems sailing over anything I would think if I'm seeing just the folding prop and saildrive.
To me it looks like the separate high aspect rudders and keels that would be the most likely to get hung up under sail. Two points that will always hook up crossing a line.
Even most skeg/rudder combos have such a steep skeg that nothing will slide by.
You can raise your CB and rudder, no problems. Good Maine boat.

- Maine for the first-timer?
- I'm convinced the best approach is to sail overnight to Penobscot Bay.
- A bit on southern Maine
- Pen Bay/MDI area
- Different strokes...
- All the detours are off the straightline unfortunately.
- Yeah but we try not to push the miles
- MDI is about 180 miles from the northeast end of the cape cod canal...
- Then I'd change your plan, "a 10 or 12-day "window" to travel to Maine and back"
- If the stars align we could make it from CCC to MDI in two days without pushing
- That's half the fun of being on a schedule. I get a little bored waiting for weather.
- Time has a way of doing that. When you're ready to move on
- 3 weeks, that's the best plan.
- If I had two crew and a weather window
- I hear you. I don't even try to sleep.
- The traps are thick here too
- Hahah
- And he has twice the number of hulls to trap the traps :^)))
- 3 times
- Ahh yes. However, before you get too dismissive

- Then, conceptually, Larry

- I would jump across to MDI and then work your way south from there
- Agree with Todd.
- I've found that the start SW Harbour and move east, then south make sense.
- unfortunately, your schedule is dictating your route
- I'm convinced the best approach is to sail overnight to Penobscot Bay.
