Hey Kevin-nice to see someone else who enjoys the "other kind of cat". I too sail a 6.0 and sail a Herrshoff America Catboat. It is really relaxing to come home from sailing the 6.0 and walk down to the marina with the wife, baby, and dog and climb on a design that has been around since the late 1800's. I guess we have the origanal sqauretops (well sort of). It has been a learning curve when it comes to the correct uses of the gaff rig (the first time I scantilized I thought I would shred the main). I have kept mine all original, no cam cleats, no electric, still run kerosene fresnell lights. Champlain must be a great area to overnight.
