Short handed sailing

[jimi]

As far as I'm concerned there's too much spoken about this and it time that more attention was spent on the more common problem of short legs. How do you cope when short legged and the weather gets a bit chilly?

I often sail short legs - they don't last long enough to get chilli.

 

[jimi]

Is that in time or distance;-)

Since we all know that cold air tends to sink then it would be sensible in chilly weather to take appropriate steps to protect tender parts of the body from the effects of the cold.
The steps I would reccomend are tall ones.

I really can't comment as my legs are long enough to keep my arse well off the deck.

Short hands are definitely a serious problem. They really restrict you playing bass!

I also am height challenged in the leg department, I find long or rather short johns do a great job! But they are still long enough to keep my arse out of the daisies!!
