They *look* very nice, Neal, but I'm not a sailor (yet) so what do I
know. ;-)

I'd be more than happy to give you a sailing lesson or two
sometime. (Won't even charge you!)

Let me know when you are available.

Hmm, can I trust you? I can get a ride over to the Bahamas anytime.

How long does it take to get from the Bahamas to the Florida Keys?

I won't charge you for teaching me how to sail. Isn't that sweet of
me? I checked out a two hour basic instruction on sailing, and now I
know that the terminology is much like the aviation industry.

Let me know when you are available.

I don't announce my plans on usenet. You will have to e-mail me...

You need to realize that I don't chase women. Unless they are
intelligent enough to come to me they simply miss out on a good
thing.

I'm hoping you're smart enough to realize how real sailors carry
on.

S.Simon - I exist and women who don't appreciate that simple
fact are too dumb for my attention and affection.

Like the poor little 15 year old girl? What was her IQ? LOL!

I catch on rather quickly...

Poor baby. I think I would prefer to go with Capt. Mooron to the
Virgin Islands anyday. I wouldn't need a bodyguard and a weapon, just
a bottle opener. hehee

The draft on the main is too far back. What is the forestay tension
like? If it's saggy you would have been able to tighten the backstay to
good effect but with a deck mounted mast I doubt you'll adjust mast bend
so easily. You'll have to adjust the relative tension between uppers and
lowers.

The reef cringles are on sewn on straps. That aint' gonna hold up, Cappy. You
need a real cringle sewn into the sail.

How come your 100% jib doesn't hoist to the mast head?
