Paul,
Well said! There were times in this thread when I thought I had glitched onto a power-boater site.

Your comment reminds me of an experience years ago, taking out some non-sailors in a daysailer and getting caught in a sudden micro-burst--a very strong blast of wind <i>straight down </i>on the boat... ("Where's it coming from, and are we jibing, tacking, capsizing, or what??") I'm glad I had all my faculties fully at hand, and that my guests weren't creating any additional challenges. I don't think they ever knew how surprised and concerned I was, but I needed all the reactions, judgement, and cool I could muster for a few minutes. It wasn't on a little lake--it was several miles out on Long Island Sound.

froma purely practical standpoint and as a person with keg experience, (we have a double tapper on my back deck) I can tell you that the motion will ruin the keg experience. All you will get is foam. Anyone who appreciates their beer knows we typically let a keg sit for a day prior to tapping.

Ahh, one of my favorite threads. We actually had great results with 1/6th kegs on our C25. The keg would sit in the port sail locker and feed into the icebox via copper tubing. We rarely had foam if the pressure wasn't too pumped up. We did have flat beer once or twice because the beer sat on the boat too long. Read my previous post regarding our setup. We were mindful of wakes and chop bigger than a couple feet, but it does work!

No apology required - this will undoubtedly restart the drinking on board thread though!

No harm in re-starting one of the best topics known to sailing.

We use the 12 ounce kegs on Labarca. We keep them in a cooler. Have not had any tapping issues. They are great for on the boat and for transporting to the beach.
