It's not a place. It's a state of mind. |

This is one sweet sailing little boat. Last boat I had was a knockoff of an
O'Day 14 and it was a pain to sail, slow and heavy. Look at this picture.
Leeboard is too far forward. Wrinkles in the sail because the peak
sprit is not high enough and a skipper who hasn't sailed in 10 years and never
was that good to begin with. She moves right along and the chase
boat was under full throttle, acording to Edna, so they could keep up and photograph. |
Were on a reach here. Frankly the outboard kinda spoils it. I just
want the insurance. You have no idea the fun I was having.
Phil Bolger the original designer and David Carnel the designer/simplifier have
put together an incredible boat as far as I am concerned. |
Pointing up a bit here I think. Looks like Pangangan island in the background.
(that's home turf for me) About now the hands are getting sore because
I don't have a cleat for the main. Two part main is not enough with 70
squares in this wind. By the way folks, It's windy like this 90 percent
of the time and usually sunny...... :~)
Eat yer hearts out! |
