AJ,

I thought that was you when I saw the first post. I remember talking with you in Pensacola a while back. You should enjoy the Express rig. The distance races especially. That is a big chute that you're running -- make sure you have a good set of blocks to trim it, and a pretty big crew. Also, you'll not be able to point quite as well from time to time, because of the big jib. I'd be glad to talk with you when we get together at one of the upcoming regattas. We are putting on an 1/2 'Round the Island Race the first week of June. That would be a good one for the Express. Hope to see you then.

Good luck with the boat!

Don
