Hey peoples...no politics here!

Spending some time aboard a new Tayana 48 DS. She's a great boat, though
not so
great in the light stuff....In fast furling from Selden works well, but is
slow
to wind up if a T-Storm is coming. A big drifter will help next season. I
find
her somewhat detached at the wheel and look out for bad trim as the wheel
can
tax you!

Mostly day sails these days with Suzanne 8 months pregnant. We've spend
quite a
bit of time sailing larger boats...Hughes 38, C&C 40, Oday 35, Sweden 38,
and
so on. The weather has been splendid! Hope everyone's having fun this
year!
