Default Hey Scotty!

I'll check it out. Bear in mind, cost , unfortunately will be a big
determining factor, I still have one kid and one wife in college.

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
