Took out our Drascombe Lugger OnKaHyE for a day sail on Santa Rosa Sound. We wanted to watch the last few boats in the Florida 120 depart from Juana's and head to Sand Island. The boat rigs in about 30 minutes.
Got to the ramp by Juana's on Navarre Beach early and had it all to ourselves. Skipper keeps an eye on the boat while I park the trailer.
We have a small 12v trolling motor to get clear of the dock, then we can set sail. Jib is roller furling. Line on the right of the mast is the main halyard, line on the left is the downhaul for the main. Remember to keep a throwable PFD readily accesible :
Helm position 1
Helm position 2
If you don't have a boat with a bumkin, pinrail or sliding gunter, you really ought to consider adding to the fleet.
