We're just having such a wonderful season of sailing. I don't think
we've had a single windless day and our short cruises have been
fantastic. Block Island is on the menu is a few weeks and a few other
shorter runs.

Hope everyone is having fun on the water!

Nice video of Western Long Island Sound but I'm concerned that you
will get a short life out of that high tech mainsail if you keep
luffing it like that.




We've used that kevlar main for 3 seasons and this year it will be
probably retired for a conventional main from Doyle. It's been a great
sail, but I think I'll save it for when we sell the boat. Sails get
used and get beat up and get replaced. It's a small price to pay for
all the fun. Not long after the video clip we furled up the genoa and
sailed great under just the main on a close reach. I love fractional
rigs like ours!
