Funny timing for me, Ed. Just sold my wonderful J/80 and have my other race
boat up for sale. As of last week, I'm the proud owner of a C&C 40 and plan
to pretty much cruise it exclusively...maybe the odd day race around
Conanicut Island but that's about it. I'm looking forward to spending a lot
of time on the water with my wife, who didn't race with me.
It's a weird feeling for me because I've spend a good percentage of the
last couple of decades racing one-design in my Shields, a Laser, and a 110
or J/80. I think the racing game has changed, and not for the better. Still
trying to figure out exactly how the game has changed but I can see it has.
I am really looking forward to just sailing along without a schedule and
trying not to go to weather. If it's raining, I'll stay where I am. I'm
easily bored, so no doubt I will embrace the cliche of sailing from one
exotic port to another and fixing the boat.
