Dan,

You are a "Monohull sailor" ???

So someone must warn you .... are you sure you want to join "The Dark Side (of sailing)" and sail MULTIHULLS!!! Your monohull friends may want to commit you to some institution where the staff dresses all in white and they have these funny jackets for you the lace up the back w/ really long sleeves that they tie together behind your back ... and the rooms are so nice and soft ... some people say that they're "padded" ...

WARNING ... WARNING ... WARNING ...

You are about to get involved w/ a group of miscreants that like to sail anywhere ... sail anytime ... sail hard ... and sail fast ...

But a nicer group you will not meet anywhere else ....

Sail Flat, Sail Fast, Sail Safe
Harry
