Racing. I know what they say about keeping the mast upright and the boat on her feet, but this is positively the fastest point of sail for our boat, heeled over or not.
The six-gallon gas tank is strapped down so it doesn't slide around. We deliver gas to the boat with a one-gallon dripless plastic gas can from Lowe's. The plastic bucket has the spare anchor and rode in it. Note the access lid in the floor just to the right and in front of the gas can. It's the access for the Signet Marine speed sensor sender that goes through the hull.
I love lights that don't take much power. We pulled the string of lights up with the halyards, loosely attaching the string to the stays about every 18".

If you've seen the movie "Wind", this is our Whomper.
We had this cover made from Sunbrella to keep the rain from blowing into the cabin when the boat is on the trailer.
The mast stand, used for trailering or when we need to lower the mast for a bridge. It swings down under the stern rail when we are sailing.
