To Bruce and all the others that have given me ideas - thanks. I got this particular Nacra because I know it's history and record. It was purchased new in 1985 by one of our club and he used it for about 9 years to kick everyones butt in our weekly club races. He came in and said "Enough is enough - I flipped for the last time - when ya get to be 74 there are some things you have to stop doing" -- of course that was after he single handed righted it and came back to win that race! He is now 84 and waiting for me to get his boat back on the race course so he can come crew with me!! When I do that I'd just kinda like to do it in a reasonable manner - and all of your comments have helped. At a certain age you realize "out thinking" them has become a major tool!!
