Default The Bent Boom

Uppity Fin Keelers..... wobbly, spindly phsyco mackerel rakes would never
touch me!


ahem Some fin keelers in this group have done 15kts+ downwind. In fact,
I've sailed on a First Europa (37 ft sled) that often did 18 kts!! When it
came up for sale, I nearly bought it. Common sense intervened fortunately,
when I realised that my 11 and 8 y/o sons would probably have difficulty
with the running backstays in an emengency gybe!



Regards
