[Rhodes22-list] ??? For Julie

[Julie Thorndycraft]

Ed,
Our launch instructions assume that the boat is on the trailer when the mast 
is raised although it does not state that is the case - until this past 
summer where a power line was in our way, we always raised the mast on land. 
When you back the boat into the water, the cockpit will fill with water if 
the plug is not in - so we would put it in to avoid this.

However, we've also learned that depending upon direction of sail and the 
number of people on board, we have to put the plug in to avoid water coming 
in when were under sail. If it is just the two of us, it is never a problem 
but when we've had four people, we occassionally have to put the plug in. I 
just haven't figured out the pattern as to when it is needed and when it is 
not.

Julie
