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?
