What the day feels like
What It Feels Like
After a brief rig and launch, the outing becomes entirely self‑directed: two people steer, trim and tack a lively little catamaran across Somers’ summer water. The format is informal — you set the pace, linger in sheltered coves or push for a reach — and the four‑hour limit keeps the outing deliberate and finite.
