Why is it that some boats are designed to have most of their power come from the main sail while others come from the jib? I’ve seen lot of people talk about how they like to only use the main to get around since their jib does not provide much drive anyway. However, on other boats like mine the main doesn’t really move you much at all until you get the jibs up, and you can run fine with just the jib if needed. Is one of these designs superior to the other?

Somebody was storing two sailboats in my parents' cove when it went dry years ago. It's now starting to fill up, and the sailboat owner is nowhere to be found. Any idea what's going to happen to them as the water rises? Will they right themselves? I haven't looked at them in a long time and I don't know anything about sailboats, but my guess is they are about 20'. He was living aboard one of them previously. The keels looked pretty long to me.

Got a late start, training on 30’ Catalinas in San Francisco Bay out of Modern Sailing in Sausalito. The boats are fully outfitted with safety equipment but I want to start accumulating key items for personal use.

Here’s are my initial ideas. Any suggestions?

• SpinLock Deck Vest
• Knee pads/elbow pads (pants with built in pads?)
• sailing jacket (HH?)
• sailing knife
• gloves
• backup hand held radio?
• PLB?
• rigging bag?
• backup boat hook (don’t ask!)

My boyfriend and I own our boat 50/50.

I am curious to know which rules you have on board, especially if you sail for longer periods at a time.
