If you're trucking it up, please post pictures of her bottom. Did you
say she has a Wing Keel? Is she does, she'll do well in the Sound. A
wing keel and good bottom should get you to a lot of better anchorages
early.

That's right, Thom. We sought out the wing because of the Sound. I
spoke to a lot of owners and the loss of performance is very small. The
advantages of the shallow draft is well worth it. Her current owner
says the wing is faster on a close reach than his previous deep draft
and he can't tell the difference in pointing. He finds the wing slower
downwind.
You're welcome to come for a sail anytime.
