Hey Scotty, looks like the perfect and relaxing trip.

It was. Those 4 days alone were worth the price of a crane.



Just because the skipper of another vessel is an arse..
is no need to
call his passengers " Skank"...... just not nice...and in
that case not
true.

What skipper, I was just generalizing.

Bull****! And it's just not nice, beside it will dis-courage him from
posting more pictures.

And it may also dis-courage others from posting pictures of nealy naked
or naked girls on sailboats, it's just not right, so stop it!



The new sail looks great, but why do sail makers not take
in account
the bow rails and let a sail bend around the rail is
beyone me, seems
like that would screw up the effiency of the sail and
cause chaffing.

Thanks Joe. It was fun to make. As soon as I rolled it out
I noticed it on the bow rail. I think I can raise the whole
furler another 4 inches, that might do it. BTW, when I'm
close hauled, sheeted in tight, it is inside the rail.
I don't think chafe should be a problen on those smooth
rails, if it is, I can add a patch.

I had mine made to clear the rails and provide a bit more visibility.
It's a trade off..a loss of power, but it's nice to see were your
going.


You boat looks like it's in tip top condition, I'm glad
you got her
back in the water.


Still needs some work ( don't all boats ), but she's good to
go now. Trying to negotiate a longer trip with the boss.


Good luck.

Joe
