    I would have actually been better off just letting the sail flap free while rowing off the beach it would have been like having a bare pole. Bottom line was that it was not the day to be out anyway.

    Re: Drain plug or not?

    would install a drain for cleaning the boat if nothing else. When I remove the drain plug on my skiff I clip it to the snap hook on the trailor strap so I cannot forget to reinstall when launching.
