Subject: Re: Lost Board


The same thing happened to me a couple years ago in the channel at 3rd. This
is is the breakage that freaks me the most. People say that you can swim fast
and catch your board but I seriously doubt it, especially at the conclusion
of a jibe, wearing a life jacket, etc...
Luckily someone found me and then the board and we reattached after 30 min.
  That's a reason to not give up your rig too soon (except if it decides to
sink!!).
Since this incident I use double nut bases and an extra tie between the mast
track and the sail. I just have to succeed as many jibes on one side as the
other...
You definitely do not want to swim from a mile out in the bay without a board
!
