Hi Bob, Thanks for the welcome, and sorry about the subject foobar.
I'm getting pretty excited and that spreader design sounds pretty rock solid and aligns well with what I've read. Assuming all goes well with the rest of the inspection and I close I'm planning on sailing her over to the Apostle Islands to berth her for the summer. I'd like to sail in mid to early May and the winds can be pretty high that month. 43% chance of BF4+ according to www.windfinder.com. BTW, very cool website for wind statistics for anyone who likes such things. She does have a dodger so that should help with heavy weather. Been there without one on a return trip from Half Moon Bay to SF in eight foot seas at 8 seconds and that was cold and wet.
