Was a great visit and I was introduced to oyster submarines! My version of
taking the new boat up to Thom is learning from him on running loose foot
mains. Between the two of us we should get sorted out nicely.

Scott,

I'd like to suggest a "KAPPA CUT" by Hild
I've had one on my Furler for over 5 yrs and its like new. It is
Regulator and is just about Bullet Proof. It's rated 10 to 40 wind
strenght. It isn't the grestest light air sail but I brought a 170
drifter that I can set free flying and the combination covers my
cruising needs


When I set the 150 genny out with the spinnaker pole and the Drifter out
the opposite side with the whisker pole and the Lazy sheets thru a
cunningham hook at the foot of the mast as downhauls I can get some
amassing speed downwind. Especially when cracked off to the wind with
the Genny to wind ward.

Had a good visit with Schooner Trash this week-end. I'm looking forward
to seeing his new boat with the furler and the staysail up front. I
think he said he was going with a 120 furler and staysail

I have never been that great trimming a cutter rig but I hope to learn
something on his boat.

My sails may be a little small for his boat but we can try a lot of
combination between the two boat
