Topic: Discussion / Capsizing in a 22 footer

This time of year between the storms is a good time to get experience as wind is lighter that other seasons ( except for the storms).
A couple of precautions from a 24 ft sailor that has experience on Catalina 22s.
1 DO NOT FORGET TO LOWER THE KEEL!!!
2 Even on a calm day if you go out the gate a little DO not go south of the South tower.
Also if your out and the wind and waves are getting a bit much, duck behind Angle Is., into aquatic park or Hyde st pier area.

Just be careful and always have a VHF radio to call for help all boats monitor ch 16 and you can hear about ship traffic on channel 14
And wear the PFDs you are required to have!
