^^^ That mainsail looks much better. Nice day for a sail!
It was a peach. We asked for the same boat that we put away last evening so we knew exactly what shape it was in. Morning winds were nice and consistent around 7-9 knots so Mrs P could relax, but we moved along at a good clip. I’m learning how to spill just enough wind if we heel beyond her liking and avoid crash gybes which freak her out. With others on board I might have been a little more aggressive. [emoji16]Quote:

That's a serious reverse transom. How big and deep is the keel?Quote:

Not too deep then
Must really heel over easy
You carry a 110% jib on the roller?
So friends or friends recently commissioned a 444 Vision Cat.
They are in South Africa doing shakedown runs for a month.
They just started asking around about dock space.
I gotta think something fell through. Nobody buys a 44 ft cat with a 12 ft beam and huge draft without having a place to keep it. RIGHT???
I can't imagine the stress.
Beautiful though.

Never even look at a boat unless you have a place to put it, both summer and winter....
free docking on the canal… don’t believe that 48 hour rule crap. people just leave their shit wherever they want for as long as they want…
fact.
My 92 yo step dad owned a Cal 40 for over 50 years (berthed in Hawaii) . He hadn't sailed it for 20 years or so and it was always semi for sale. I don't think he really wanted to see her go, but my mom thought it a waste of money to have it sitting in a slip. He finally sold it to an 80 yo dude who was planning to sail it around the world. Guy flies out and works on it for couple of months. He set sail about a month ago. He gets about 2/3 of the way to the mainland and calls the coast guard. He couldn't go on. He was exhausted. Coast guard says they can't get to him so they some how call out for available vessels in the area and a Turkish freighter headed to China picks him up.
So what happens to a boat left adrift?
finders keepers on the high seas… owner has to pay to get it back.

its a 100 on the furler, the boat was designed to sail with 1200 lbs of crew weight but single handed I can still do mid 6's upwind and off wind with no swell I can do 9-10 knots or more depending on how ballsy I am feeling.

I will let you all know how it goes down.
Sailed past Lone Rock Point (BTV) and saw some folks climbing with Petra Cliffs - in the white just to the left of Lone Rock.

You guys are killing it this summer. Jumped off those cliffs in my youth.Quote:

From the malden voyage on Sunday. Yesterday we headed back out in some ripping 20knot winds with gusts closer to 30.

The banana is a funny finger in the eye of superstition.
Got out on my in-laws' new to them J-112 this weekend on Lake Erie. What a fantastic boat.
Maybe thats why we didn’t catch any fish.Quote:

Goniff's boat looks like it's built for comfort. Not for speed.
Mrs. P looking like a movie star (as always)
Still some sailing days left. Had to chip a bit of ice out of the peapod this morning to get some lines free, but after that…
