A few pics from our recent 3 boat floatilla. We met fellow SSCA members on the Manatee River over presidents weekend.

The Desoto National Memorial park is across the river, in the "cove". We've anchored at both places, both are very nice. If I remember right, the weather that weekend and whole week was very good.

Love the pictures... thanks for sharing

Just a few questions
1) Are you showing an anchor sail
2) Do you have close-ups showing detail
3) What are the measurements
4) Do you use a bridle on you anchor rode

Thank you in advance

Hi Henk, yes that's my homemade riding sail. It's the top section of an old windsurfer sail. I put 4 grommets along the the luff and use small aluminum caribeaners (read dollar store)as hanks. A grommet at each point on the sail allows raising with the main halyard and tacking the bottom where convenient. I don't need a bridle because the hunting on anchor is reduced by 95%. I modified to a single backstay on the starboard side, so the sail doesn't interfere with the cockpit.
