My concerns a because I live on the NE coast my ideal cruising
ground is the Atlantic coast day sailing and making port-to-port
recreational trips. But I really want a boat I can also race if want.
I want to do the Figawi in 2005 and the notice of race said a boat of
any length can enter so long as its PHRF rating is under 200

BG I'm getting old. If the "Figawi" is the race between Hyannis and
Nantucket (always thought it was spelled "Fugawi" .... may have been
cleaned up), I remember the first, let's go race, get drunk, and see who
can find Nantucket, race, before it became "sanctioned". Remember a boat
called the "Moby Dick" which may have won the thing ....ugliest damned
boat you ever saw ....looked like Moby Dick.
