CATAMARAN SAILING: Breaking Lines in GUSTY Conditions!

The Tula Shop – http://tulasendlesssummer.com/shop-tula/ It was 15-20 knots on our beam when we left Block Island but soon increased to a gusty 15-30 knots when we reached the leeward shore of Long Island. We were a bit overpowered and we broke a bunch of lines when we got hit with some gusts. The lines were old and frayed and needed replacing anyway we just hadn’t gotten to them yet. Anyway we survived and pulled into Moriches inlet for the evening (which I don’t recommend anyone transiting without very local knowledge). Anyway, use code “cybermonday” at the Tula Shop The Tula Shop – http://tulasendlesssummer.com/shop-tula/ for 20% off your total order on Cyber Monday!!
