All three of my children sailed at early ages 5 months through their teen
years. No better place for a young family than sharing experiences and memories
on the water

My son is now 17 and has been sailing on Coquina since birth. He was maybe a
month old when he did a 4 day cruise.
Seehttp://www.dellabarba.com/sailing/images/noah093x.JPG
We sailed a LOT with him, he spent an average of 10% of his entire life on the
boat when he was younger.
Babies are easy on boats, they love the motion and we just bungee-corded his
car seat where we wanted it.
I can give you all kinds of baby hints.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Stus-List baby on board
Stephen, a baby on board can be readily done. We bought our first boat when my
wife was pregnant, using the logic that we'd be too exhausted and full of
excuses after the baby arrived.
It just requires some planning and modifications to behavior. I can singlehand
the boat, so my wife was (unfortunately living up to a sexist generalization)
on kid duty. We put lifeline netting up all around 'til he was 5, and bolted a
car seat down in the v-berth. Going for an afternoon sail we would sail with
him in the cockpit for a while, but then put him in the car seat with a bottle
and blanket, he'd sleep a couple of hours.
Lee clothes also make a great pseudo playpen and a snug place for playing or
napping.
I did once get a complaint that we were heeled over too far, his toys kept
falling over, and I did have recurring nightmares of having a bilge pump
clogged with Lego, but all in all an excellent experience and he is now an
excellent sailor.

I have owned DejaVu, a 1990 34/36 for the past 7 years. She is my third C&C
before her a 24' then another 34'. We sailed the hell out of her all around
the Gulf of Mexico but now she sits on a custom trailer in Pensacola Shipyard
Marina. The birth of a child will do that to you ;) Thought long and hard
about parting ways with her but I cant do it, so she remains sidelined and
dearly missed for all the great adventures she surely brought to us all who
sailed her. Maybe I will bring her up to Lake Lanier and someday give her to
my son Max, who is 2 years old.
