No. That cast was aimed at Jimbo.

BTW, I've always heard nothing but good comments about the
S2.

Scotty,
After sailing a 79, do you think I could even look a one
and
not laugh?

Before you make a decision, I think you ought to check
out
typical prices on boats such as yours in Michigan and
compare that with the prices of those available in
Corpus
or Houston (which is a short trip from Corpus), less the
costs of bringing your boat down. -
It's pretty easy to do on yachtworld.com or the like,
and
you will find that there are lots of boats for sale
here.
For example, if you will be sailing offshore
extensively,
you might want to think about a somewhat larger boat.
Of
course, if your boat is in good condition and you're
particularly attached to it, that's another factor.

I am hoping for some genuine help from a native guide.

My wife just got a new assignment in Corpus Christi. I
can’t think of
any good reason to try to stay in Michigan and watch
while the economy
here circles the drain.

We have an S2-7.9 on a trailer that we got to race and
trailer cruise.

I know longer own a tow-vehicle and have gotten by
borrowing one for local moves.

I have found a J-24 fleet, but can not identify much
other keel boat
racing and the charts (nice- have the available on the
web now) do not
look like there is much cruising ground.

Question: Is it worth my while to drag this boat to

Corpus Christi/Rockford?

They're pretty good boats. The S2s are well built IMHO and
while they look rather plain, they're faster than the
numbers suggest... always a nice feature. Over on the
Sailing Anarchy forum you can read a bunch of J-24 sailors
whine about racing S2-7.9s in PHRF. I take that to be a good
indicator of the boat's performance!
