Default new boat

Yup... ST4000. If I didn't have it, it would have been more of a mess. I
also am about to have a remote for it... :-) I really appreciated having it
while flaking the main, especially since the wind was about 15 kts with
higher gusts. Worked great!

even did a passable job flaking the main before
I got to the dock.


Do you have an autopilot? I probably single hand more than I sail with
crew,
and flaking the main is SOP while coming in on autopilot. I hate trying to
do it while rocking back and forth in a chop. Highly recommended if you
don't have one.
