Owning a boat is great!

Thomas and I slept aboard Friday and Saturday. Labor day was a "no
sail day" but we ended up at City Island for dinner and then ran into
another crew....and before you could say "Beneteau 35s5!" we ran our
boats out for a quick late afternoon sail in light to moderate air!

Thanks!

This may be the last full season for the Kevlar main. It's showing
some wear now and it was originally cut a bit deep for my tastes. Mark
at Doyle will probably make me something better for next season.

LOL. I may just go with standard materials this time. But the nice
thing about the black main is that when we meet friends out on the
water we're easy to spot!

Badly trimmed, backed or luffing sails of any color are always easily
noticed. (As in, "Just look at THAT idiot!")

I was sailing with a VERY famous sailor one day, and I tried to razz
him about the slight backwinding of his main. He said that on that
particular boat, the best speed at that point of sail was attained
based more on the trim of the genoa, and if it bothered anyone, they
could think of the deformity in the main as a "speed bubble". Doing
anythng to reduce the bubble would slow the boat down.

I'm not very famous or anything like that, but I can verify that this
is true - at least on my boat - verified by GPS.

GPS takes the "unknown" aspects out of the question - we simply do whatever
makes the boat go faster.
