New Boat Report
 

Hey peoples...no politics here!

Spending some time aboard a new Tayana 48 DS. She's a great boat, though not so
great in the light stuff....In fast furling from Selden works well, but is slow
to wind up if a T-Storm is coming. A big drifter will help next season. I find
her somewhat detached at the wheel and look out for bad trim as the wheel can
tax you!

And here's a pic of me at the wheel....

Mostly day sails these days with Suzanne 8 months pregnant. We've spend quite a
bit of time sailing larger boats...Hughes 38, C&C 40, Oday 35, Sweden 38, and
so on. The weather has been splendid! Hope everyone's having fun this year!
