Hey John,

Thanks, but I must say that is what she looked like when I picked her up. Since then I"ve done a small amount of repair...mainly from the neglect of sitting for a while. Sanded her good and put 3 coats of varnish on so she's shin'n now. Added a spinnaker pole to position the jib better(26 sq ft), and for the eventual addition of more sail.

I'm really not concerned with the actual number at this point, just a good starting point and the proper procedure to get there so that we can all play!!!

As for as races....I'm looking at the Labor Day weekend (Version 2.?) event in Norfolk, VA w/Hobie Fleet 32 and their Neptune Festival event too. Maybe a Fall race in your area too. Brian Lambert owes me a night out there I think!!! The Tradewinds in KL, and maybe the Miami-KL. (Any reason to go warm in the winter!!!)

Other than that I'm gonna try and hit whatever is local that I can get the P-number to wherever it should be, and of course so that I can get the most needed experience.


I can stall the sails with the best of 'em!
