HI Antoine, I read your comment " Water temperature in July is around 6-7 degree celsius (around 45 Fahrenheit) in the St-Lawrence. There are a number of consequences to this. First, you need winter clothes (I?ve sailed under snow and freezing rain in mid May)." And started smiling..
I distinctly remember attempting to launch my 470 off the beach somewhere near Saint-Irenee in July back in the early 80's: Within about 5 minutes of wading around to launch the boat, I could not feel anything from the knee down. If I remember right we went for a short sail and decided that discretion was the better par of valor / put the boat back on the trailer for the remainder of the weekend and stayed out of the glacial water.
