Hey Scotty, looks like the perfect and relaxing trip.


It was. Those 4 days alone were worth the price of a crane.



Just because the skipper of another vessel is an arse..

is no need to
call his passengers " Skank"...... just not nice...and in

that case not
true.


What skipper, I was just generalizing.


The new sail looks great, but why do sail makers not take

in account
the bow rails and let a sail bend around the rail is

beyone me, seems
like that would screw up the effiency of the sail and

cause chaffing.

Thanks Joe. It was fun to make. As soon as I rolled it out
I noticed it on the bow rail. I think I can raise the whole
furler another 4 inches, that might do it. BTW, when I'm
close hauled, sheeted in tight, it is inside the rail.
I don't think chafe should be a problen on those smooth
rails, if it is, I can add a patch.


You boat looks like it's in tip top condition, I'm glad

you got her
back in the water.



Still needs some work ( don't all boats ), but she's good to
go now. Trying to negotiate a longer trip with the boss.
