Drascombe Lugger On Ka Hy E Day Sail on Santa Rosa Sound
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.

Chuck's Boat Club
My friend Chuck has a small Sunfish fleet and runs a sailing camp for kids. He is gearing up for Girl Scout sailing program and set up a weekend sailing get together. There are several really nice natural beaches and parks around the area to launch, this was Shoreline Park in Gulf Breeze.
First you have to get the boats there, and this repurposed jet ski trailer did the trick. It can carry 4 Sunfish.
Chuck is a sailing instructor, here he is coming back to the beach with a student
This boat hull is a Hurricane Katrina survivor, the sail and spars survived Hurricanes Ivan and Dennis. Chuck's dad rescued the hull and we found the sail and spars being used on a Scorpion that was beyond repair. So together they make a nice couple!
