I'm moving to Portland soon and want to learn the basics of sailing, although it will probably be frozen over when I arrive. But I'm from Minnesota and know there are liveaboards there that survive the winters on the Mississippi, so there must be someone in Maine. I don't have a lot of experience but would love to learn...

Re: Does anyone live near Portland and want to help me learn sailing?
Sun, November 16, 2008 - 6:46 PMDear Dan,
Most folks pull their boats out of the water for the Winter unless it's a fishing boat ,the weather is so harsh.
It's not like the Mid West friend.
Trust me you would not want to live on a boat through the winter on the coast of Maine(even as far South as Portland)... -

Mon, November 17, 2008 - 4:40 AMI would have to agree with Stephen on this one. I've lived in Maine almost all my life and I've never known a sailboat to stay in the water throughout winter. The only reason the lobster/fishermen do it is because it's how they make there living. Your going to have to wait until spring.
