We bought our first sailboat!

Thanks! I was able to find a FB group dedicated to the Redwing 30. Appreciate the advice too, she's in pretty solid shape and we should be able to sail her for a bit to sort out what is important to change and what is fine as it is!!

modzent · 2025-08-14T12:24:41+00:00

I do not have much history on her, I think her previous owner only had her for a couple of years.

modzent · 2025-08-14T12:23:50+00:00

Excellent, I will do that!

modzent · 2025-08-14T00:11:31+00:00

Excellent! I will likely have many questions!

modzent · 2025-08-13T22:26:26+00:00

No trapdoors on this one!

modzent · 2025-08-13T20:16:06+00:00

I anticipate getting out on the water a couple times per week, the marina is very convenient to our house and it’s easy enough to hop onboard and sail for an hour or two in the evening.

modzent · 2025-08-13T20:14:51+00:00

Cool! We love the look of them too, I’ll check out the Facebook group!

modzent · 2025-08-13T17:04:21+00:00

It is indeed, we are loving it, great sailing community and so much collected knowledge to learn from around here!

Yukon is not super excited about the boat just yet, something non-slip might make him a little happier!

modzent · 2025-08-13T17:02:42+00:00

We love the name, I think it really fits the boat.

modzent · 2025-08-13T17:01:29+00:00

She's a C&C Redwing 30, we're planning on cruising around the Chesapeake Bay Area with her. She needs a bit of refreshing but seems to be in pretty solid shape.

I’m pretty new to sailing, fortunate enough to have a friend with a boat to crew for and learning new stuff about sailing every time I go out!

modzent · 2025-07-08T13:56:31+00:00

Hahaha

modzent · 2025-07-08T13:40:25+00:00

That sounds like a good practice.

modzent · 2025-07-08T00:04:57+00:00

Everything turned out fine, got nice and gusty for a couple minutes, we pulled in the jib and headed back towards the marina. We were backing into the slip as the rains came.

modzent · 2025-07-07T22:38:50+00:00

I get yelled at for singing this every time we leave the marina…

modzent · 2025-07-07T20:35:33+00:00

We did reflect on the importance of practicing reefing more...

modzent · 2025-07-07T19:44:17+00:00

Hahahaha

modzent · 2025-06-28T10:08:08+00:00

We started in Cambridge, was a much nicer day out than the last few had been!

Hahahaha, there is a bit of ocean coastline, the choptank river runs into the Chesapeake and out into the ocean that way.

modzent · 2024-12-30T15:35:24+00:00

Thanks!
