When I got Mistress 4 years ago it was my first sail boat, and when I stood the
mast and rigged the boat for the first time, it was a lot of firsts all at once
for me.
Having taken lessons before I bought a boat I was expecting 2 separate jib
sheets, to be tied with bowlines, but found only
No it was not Nina. The listing broker could not pronounce the Irish name when

Not sure how many Good Old Boat subcribers are on the list but in the last
issue someone had redone the C&C cove strip with a reflective tape. Probably
not for every color scheme but I thought it would be very good at night if
someone was to shine a light towards the boat. I am considering
ching sometimes over 6.0. My personal best is 6.9 reaching, for 4 seconds,
and in flat water and a really nice puff.
I singlehand alot and don't know how to fly the spinnaker yet so I don't know
if that might allow faster speeds.

When I get new sails I am getting a 110 and perhaps 2 reefs in my main instead

The lights seem to be a non-standard option on what I found, at least on
this continent, or only on homemade systems.

This would be a hard thing for the crew to deal with though and indeed sad news.

So how close is the actual hull shape design of this boat to the 40. At a
glance they appear the same with the obvious deck and interior differences.
I have always loved the look and layout of the 40. If the hull shape is

the right price point,
either dictated by market or condition. My goal here is evaluate the model
in person and try to learn what is causing these to "hang around", or any
boat for that matter.
We also like the 37+ but none in the vicinity of this trip.
Thanks for any input.
Marek I dont know him personally, and he has that boat on his own mooring
about mid-lake and is not affiliated with either yacht club. I was parked
next to him last year at crane out. If I see him this year I will
definitely say hi for you. We crane out on the 11th of October.

On my 26 the real power comes off the genoa but I suspect most boats are
that way.
I never really gave much thought to stressing the rig and I haven't

On my boat which has the Vire 7 there is spot for the gas tank under the

I think this varies by province and some require certain items such as boats
are taxed each time they change hands. BC I know has this same arrangement.
Glad I live in Alberta we aren't subject to this kind of tax on boats. Only GST

Easy for me to say because I am a relatively new sailor but I agree with
