Mary,
I like your questions.

She would not like to continue racing on any kind of boat. Before we met 10 years ago my wife crewed for 2-3 skippers at one time, belonged to 2 Fleets and raced probably every weekend somewhere in the State. It was her "escape" following a bad divorce. She has been racing with me on a local level, but never had her heart into it. She has preferred shoving off into the Gulf for the day. And like she has said; "going the direction I want to go, for as long as I want to go". I would be honest in saying that she no longer has an interest in racing on any boat we may own.

The knee issue is not an excuse. She has had orthoscopic
on the knees several years back and at present is under pain management with knee replacement in the near future.

As we are both nearing retirement we are discussing buying one of the F tris in the reasonably near future. I would say that dream will be a reality in 3-4 years. MEANWHILE
because my wife respects my passion for racing (she has been there) she says "buy a boat that you can race single-hand, and still be capable of taking both of us out on that weekend "cruise to no particular place".

Sorry for being a little long-winded, but I needed to clear a few things up.

So, that being said. Suggestions please.

Thank you,
Dave
