Obviously it's best to go round in the middle of summer because it gets stormy in winter. Is June or July better?

 

[sailorman]

WHO said it gets Stormy /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

1. All Bavaria yachts fall apart in anything above a F1.
2. Long keels v fin usually generates a good head of steam.
3. The motion of a modern fin keeled AWB sailing to windward will keep a dentist in work for years repairing all the fillings that have been shaken loose.

I'd rephrase that question to - "Macgregor 26 do they sail ?".

Is 'teak care' on here yet? Should I scrub with the grain, across the grain? Saltwater or fresh? Buy expensive two-pack solutions or let it age to grey? Real or plastic?...
