That’s great to know. Like I said this is a 1981 boat. the PO raced
her a bit but never hurt it. Is seems to be very stiff in the hull and
the standing rigging is tight with little signs of wear. I cut off all
the white covering from the OEM Stainless life lines they looked good
as well. They were a bit stretched so I replaced it with Amsteel blue
rope. It sails remarkable close to the wind and seems to like the
heavy stuff.
It’s hard to get moving in light air. Over all, I love it. I was just
not sure if it could stand a strand day like 20 0R 30 miles out.
I also have a asymmetrical in a dousing sock that has not been flown.
I want to use it. Should I pick a light wind day to try this sail?
