Every time I go out, I learn, and so this time I learned there is a big-assed difference between sailing on a 20 acre pond and a freaking huge bay. The next time I go I will probably take my 16ft Newport, but in the mean time, I am going to it was through this make some changes to my PD Racer. Specifically: One of the external skids has broken in 2 places, so I am going to replace the 2 with 4 skids and remove the false decking. I am going to install some seating to make things a little more comfortable, install oars, and a couple of other tweaks.
