Eh, Kate would slaughter me if I sold my boat. She likes it just as much as I do probably. Fact of the matter is I wont be able to afford her what she deserves unless I ditch the boat. Plus, I've got the tornado bug. I've tasted the faster, sleeker, more fun (read: spinnaker) version of cat sailing, and it aint gonna happen while I've still got the 17 around.

On another note, I need to sell the 17 so I can get something that BOTH of us can sail on without her having to be a contortionist to get under the boom :P
