Thanks Mike. I just happen to have a good sailmaker within a quarter mile of my house (Shore Sails). I plan to drop off the jib and main once Lake Champlain starts to ice up. (I can hear all you southern sailors saying, "What's ice?".)
<br>
<br>Prior to buying my 6.0 my sailing was limited to just blasting around on an H16. I still really enjoy the distance sailing aspect of the sport, but I with a growing fleet here in Vermont I started racing my boat around the buoys this summer. It's been great fun with a terrific bunch of sailors. As most readers of this forum know, there's nothing like some good competition to hone the skills. There's also nothing like competition to start draining the wallet. No longer can I tolerate the poor performance of an old set of sails. It's a slippery slope.
