Default My Birthday....41

Thanks Simp,

You're right, she doesn't look like a Motorsailer mostly because she
isn't. She is a true Pilothouse Sloop. Even at that, if you look at that
pretty hull below the water line you won't see very many fast cruising
boat any finer or fairer than that.

If you hadn't noticed, that wing on the keel has a slight pitch to
windward when it get heeled. I've surprised a lot of racers with the
upwind ability of that pilothouse sloop.

It also makes 'Pneuma" an easy boat to trim out downwind.

Again I that you for your praise. It is appreciated

We have been socked in by storms for over a week now, so I haven't been
out. I'll get some picture of the interior. That is where I'm the
proudest. I done a bit of customizing down below to make her a good
single hander.

As soon as the weather allows Neal, I'll also get some pictures of the
new main for you. Now that I can send photos again
