RB,

I wasn't aware you were already deep into negotiations. I hope thing go
your way'

Question; Are you going to be happy with that mast, double spreaders,
jack stays and all that goes with it? If you are,boy, you are into some
damn fine sailing and it will match the sound to a "TEE". Especially
Eastern Long Island Sound.
I suggest you start getting information from the "Nav" I've tried to
avoid those rigs but you and Susy should be up to it.

Two years, that will make that boat about ready for a re-fit. I suggest
you start researching the new type preformed racing sails while you're
waiting. Also, some crew time racing on a mast head rig with a flexible
mast wouldn't hurt. Not necessary but wouldn't hurt.

Aren't those sliding sheet car a kick in the ass? Along with an
adjustable barber haul and that whippy mast your sailing will be like
dancing a "Tango" Ah!!! youth, I'll try to live a little of it with you
(If you don't mind)
