actually used your boat this season? I mean time under weigh, sail or power. Not dock time aboard.

My log shows 178 hours sailing. Not bad for a day sailor

About twelve or thirteen hours or so, so far... But as of today, she's only two weeks old! :D

Your supposed to keep a log on a daysiler? ;)
I would guess Carina has been under sail about 70 hrs this season.

There are 178 boat fishing entries in my fishing log (down from over 300 this time last year), well over 500 hours, since early March. That includes shellfishing and bait and crab potting. Add another 50 or so spent gathering eel grass and sand and gravel, and 50 or so just rowing and gunkholing. Somewhere north of 600 hours.

I race dinghies, races can take up to 2h 40. The season has only just started, :cool: .

ps, So far this season 'inland small boat warnings' have kept us off the water. I'm looking for ripples in the lawn.

I worked this out about 3 or 4 years ago. added up the weekends away.. the holidays and the daysails. It was about 800 hours + when I stopped counting. I don't think we got that much last year. And I don't know how long we're going to be able to do it. ( I have a 12 year old daughter now :rolleyes: )

I got about 40 hours in ,in the winter racing on my mates boat !!! does that count? Coastal Classic in 2 weeks on the same boat!! 120 miles up the coast!! (and back I s'pose.)
!! :D

A log for a day sailor ...seems maybe too much.

During the winter it's fun to pull it out read what the weather and tides were doing on a particular day ... who you had aboard where you went and what you did or saw. My log is sprinkled with pictures. It makes the off season go faster while the snow is flying and the wind howling.......... Maybe I'll post a page.

Of course I got very little. Had the boat out only twice. Once for a drift and once had the SouthEastern Boat Builders & Beer Drinkers campout.

I'm hoping next year will be different, esp. now that I have truck and don't have to borrow the wife's SUV. :D

About 50 of engine time ... but anchored and swimming, etc. is using it in my book, too! smile.gif

daysailing - 3 days/week (religiously) from June through September at an average of 3hrs/sail = ~144 hours

Well, our season ran this year from May 15 until today. I just summarized my log. I was out on the boat 115 days this season. about 85 of tose days were 7-8 hour days. The rest were 24 hour days (overnights, gulf of Maine crossings, etc.), so I would say about 1350 hours. A typical season for me. Too bad the season isn't longer.
