Hi Dwight, No more hum. Hum is a speed robber. Like I stated, the noise is gone since upgrading to wheel and adding grease fittings to the rudder bearings. 7.3 seems to be her sweet spot going upwind. If she has a clean bottom and wind over 8 knots, she will make her own wind and accelerate to that speed. I've taken her out with non-sailors in 18 knot winds and hit that speed in all directions with just the mainsail.
