I Threw My Drysuit Away!

19.25 in away, Boat Plans, drysuit, i, my, threw

Last summer I took a look at my very old, seldom used dry suit and decided it was time to toss it. I havent sailed frostbite in dinghies in decades and the rather laborious task of replacing dry-rotted seals just wasnt worth it. I guess Ive reached the point where Im quite happy watching other dinghy sailors sail in freezing water, even if I have to suffer being a very cold spectator myself.

Here is a well done video of a cold, cold regatta, an intercollegiate regatta in 420s, shot in slow motion by a professional videographer, Doug Jensen. This video was shot in New England in March; a time when the air temperature may be on the way up but the water is still just a tad above freezing. Brrr!
