There are a group of us hoping to do a long trip (possibly to France) in some stratos keels. Has anyone slept overnight in one? How do you raise yourself off the deck to keep dry?
Not sure about this one but have experimented with a small tent and sleeping bags in dry bags. You can actually carry a fair bit of kit in the boat dependent on how many crew etc........in terms of sleeping on board can't really think of a solution (Wayfarers have the advantage here !) other than some form of waterproof layer/sheet and thermal layer on top and curl up under an awning ! Good luck, how many of you are going and where are you sailing from ?
Its very much in the planning stage for around Sept. Possibly starting in erith in london, working along the kent coast to ramsgate then over the channel. Taking 3-5 boats (all begged and borrowed from clubs and centres).
