Wally,
Better than Percy Priest...in Nashville.
I raced both those lakes in the 80s.
KY Lake is where it's at folks.

Ed....I had my 33.5 out yesterday with jib rolled to 100% and
the main reefed. We were heeled HARD. However, it was the core team
on board with Lisa and John. We three have been racing together on
various boats for 8 years together. As I said, we out-pointed everyone
(though at least they were out there). So many don't reef the main.
On a big boat, it makes a huge difference.
So many don't have both sails up!
You're right, the big boats stay in with good wind?????!!!!! Go figure.
Just the good hard core sailors out there now.
Sure was a great day. We came home (we're also neighbors) and had a huge
steak dinner.

Anne

Bill

I live near Lake Loudon (KNoxville TN) but slip my R22 at Watts Bar Lake.
Both lakes are on the TN River but Watts Bar is less developed, lighter
traffic and better sailing. I am not familiar with Center Hill so nothing to
offer.

My 84 R22 has opening ports and they do not leak. If they do leak you can
repair or replace them. They do collect a little rain water but really not
an issue. I don't have hatches but if you were worried about leaks the same
worries would apply to hatches. If you plan on overnighting extra
ventalation is a good thing. The PTE needs more screen area. Ventalation
with PTE buttoned up is not adequate on a warm southern night. Opening ports
are a good thing.

Marine Head or Porta Potti?????.......I have porta potti. Nice and simple.
Works for me.

Anne, I always had heard KY Lake had the best sailing conditions around. I
have never been to Old Hickory. You really like Old Hickory better than KY
Lake?

Wally
