Martin: My boat came with a blooper. After not using it in most of the races on the Columbia River, I traded it to a friend for a useless main that I traded in to North Sails for a discount when buying a new genny. Lately I've been racing level, so it might be time to get it back and see how I do with it. It definitely would be a great sail to have on the Oregon Offshore (now Pacific Northwest Offshore), when running down the straits to Victoria.
