OH NICE! <luv the 'cutter rig' two jibs!'Mine' is my neighbor's heavily refurbished (new sails, rudder, Teak-work and winches ) 25' Catalina, built in '78. At age 66 I'm 'the kid' on the boat so I'm essentially the crew and the really good looking one too-obviously! I prefer not to own, as my home in earthquake country is wor$e than a boat: new kitchen, furnace, and the waterheater this year alone!. Fortunately my cousin manages a boat yard in nearby Richmond so the haulout/hull repaint will be at my family rate. Our other crew(71) a true man-of-the-sea lives on his Hunter(25 years) in our marina and the Captain(70), my neighbor, and I grew up in MN and Michigan sailing on Lake Superior, lesser lakes (I taught sailing in '69 at a Y camp) and Lake Michigan. We sail every week in the narrow ship-channel Carquinez Strait off the Napa River/Mare Island in the north San Francisco Bay: winds at 25 knots and swells at 4' occasionally; tides with the current river flow/flood closely monitored generally add 6 knots either way. A real workout for a 15 HP Nisson outboard! The roller 150% jib is a godsend for single-handing! ...while I attend to more... 'important duties'! 'chief steward'> our old liveaboard(grog-ration cup in hand) has done a TransPac to Hawaii and Mexico and knows all! He's the starboard 'grinder' whilst I man the portside on our new $700!! jib winches when happily asea!
