Two things: It looks very interesting and comprehensive. I've
bookmarked it and will spend time reading the articles. I am like many
here, "systems" oriented in that I plan in the next few years to do
extensive offshore cruising, possibly an circumnavigation, and I find
that "anecdotal" or "field" evidence is as valuable, if not more so,
than product reports or clain or even the good work that magazines
like Practical Sailor put out. So I will return and wade through the
extensive topic list.
Second: That's a very nice shot of your boat! I am leaning toward a
ketch as a cruising boat of choice in the 40-45 foot range, and the
fact that you appear to have a Solent rig and a mizzen spinnaker is
very appealing to me, not only for its relative rarity on ketches but
for its practicality in downwind work. Nice.
I look forward to more development, but it looks like a complementary
site to Jimmy C.'s www.noonsite.com, which I also find helpful.
