Our Hunter 260 will arrive early next week and we plan on spending a few days learning the mast raising/lowering in the driveway prior to our first attempt at sailing.
We have ZERO sailing experience.
We aren't absolute morons, which is arguable, and believe we can figure things out.
We live in Ottawa and are planning a trip out to teach ourselves how to sail.
Our choices
1. put her in the ottawa river at nepean sailing club.
2. Trailer to lake ontario and figure things out there, within sight of shore.
I fear the ottawa river is unforgiving with the rapids holding you accountable for mistakes.
Opinions, thoughts, concerns?
