Where are your fenders?

Looks like you have 5 wraps on the winches, do you do that
while sailing?

Haven't gotten around to changing my fender policy yet (yes, they're still
hanging there!). It's let's others know they should give me a wide berth.
About the winches: so far I'm not even using the crank, I just pull them
where I want them, the extra wraps are just for no-sail conditions.

Are you talking about the boat or the woman?

What a frustrated asshole Scotty always is.

Scout, the boat looks great.

Thanks Frank!
Yes, I have motored with the RK fully retracted. It responds much better
with the keel down even just a few inches (which is what Nick Hake told me
to expect). I often leave my slip with the keel mostly retracted even
though my slip depth is 23 feet. I haven't had too much trouble with tight
maneuvering.
I have to tell you we really like this boat but would like the 6'5" head
room of the 32RK; we are already considering putting the 26 up for sale and
going for it.

If you did that, would you still winter it in the "boat house" you
built for the 26 or is the 32 beyond reasonable trailering?

Good question Frank,
During my recent experience with snow loads - yes, yes, Katy was right!
:o) - I learned how easily I can extend the length of the tent, at least
another 10 feet. I already have the materials to do it. I spent a few days
this summer doubling the tent's framework; now instead of the 2" tubing
being 60" OC, ribs are now 30" OC.
check out the rib spacing in this pic:
