The weather never cooperated, and we could not string 5 days of decent weather together to charter a Seawind 1260. Time was running short, so Toni and I committed to a daysail. A Seawind 1160 Lite named Nanyehi was available so we left under overcast skies and a bashful sun. This Seawind 1160 Lite was lite in every sense of the word but the owners are adding comforts as time permits. Options are not necessary when just going out for the day and this boat sailed wonderfully in the light autumn breezes along the central Chesapeake Bay. Toni did another comparison of the 1160 with the 1260 accommodations. We spent the day tacking back and forth between the anchored ships through the mist and drizzle, until the breezes abated and the fog started to role in. We dropped sails and headed back to practice some dock approaches before tying up for the day. We then evaluated the blue water davits on a Seawind 1260 to assist us in deciding if this option is for our boat.
