Mike:
Thank you.....might just take you up on that.....but you should know
that every time I go below to pack the chute, I have a beer.....Barlow
can attest to that....Dempsey didn't care for it but I always packed on
the same side of where he was on the helm so he couldn't see me.....he
could always get a new 'bow man' but no one wanted to do that job! Too
funny when I think back!

You are correct....I should have said "I no longer race"....when we
sold our Kirby 25 in the Fall of 2005 and bought a C&C 32 in March of
2006, I converted from being a full time 'racer' to a lazy 'reacher'.
After 25 years (seasons here) of constant racing, both crewing on
others' boats and campaigning our K25 for 6 seasons, I simply wanted a
change..... in those 25 years, I never missed one Chester Race
Week. I still want to be on the water but just doing it in a more
relaxing manner.
And I am beginning to get back the urge to do a little racing....I
wouldn't mind doing the odd race but not be expected to show up on a
regular basis. But good racing skippers/crews prefer to have
regulars.....I won't commit to do that these days.

And yet the first time I actually met you in person Bob you were
sitting on Bruce Dempsey's boat after a race. (OK Bruce's current
boat has probably raced a total of two times in last five years
and in only fun races ....but ... )
For my friend Bob I would change that to "I no longer race"
because there was a heck of a lot of racing before that for you
and Dwight and others ......

If my boat was installed like Steve's, I wouldn't even worry about
it.....I don't race.....my genoa is a roller fuller...it goes up
and mostly stays up. And the way I use my main, I hardly doubt
the chaffing would be any worst than the UV damage....probably not
going to shorten the life of any halyard under these circumstances.
