Regarding the results for boat ages, there is a sudden drop off at 30 years, so what happened 30 years ago that there were suddenly fewer (new) boats being bought??

Lovely!!! you'll have to raft up one day - our names match.

Finding the opportunities to have a "nap" is a very important and sometimes problematic part of cruising with kids.
-
When Nancy was about 9 she asked if she could have a go at rowing the dinghy by herself. Mum and Dad wanted a nap so I said OK if she stayed tethered to the boat. When I came back on deck she was a few hundred yards away, she had taken every piece of line she could find sand tied them all together so she could row a bit further. Took me most of the afternoon to re rig the boat.
-
We used to get underway very early (4-5 am), leave the kids to sleep, sail the days distance by midday and mum would take them into town/to the beach/whatever while dad had a catch up nap and we would swap p[laces the next day. You are right, do less sailing and more time with other activities.

Christmas/New Year cruising - where are you off to?

That Tom is a good man, he saved us a couple of timers. Just arrived at GH after a delightful few days coming down from Opua. Xmas dinner in the house then down to the boat and see which way the wind is blowing. -
It's nearly Xmas, go for the 9.2, all it is missing is a dodger and an oven.

Stern hung rudder makes fitting a wind vane with a trim tab to the main rudder easy. Works a treat.
