Put the Highlander away and switch to the H37C in the avatar. On the way from Huron to Buffalo and the Erie Canal. And points waaay beyond. Winter dreams of cruisin'.

Ed,
You have a roller furle head sail, and also a smaller hank on jib?
How does that work?
Are all boats equipped with both?
Got a feeling I asked this before...

Good one, Blaise, and they also have a foredeck to stow the RIB. But the real cruising boats are cutters!!
Thanks, Ed, for changing the avatar. I have nothing against the Highlander, in fact it is an exceptionally good boat, but having grown up racing high performance dinghies, I cringed every time I saw the heel on her. What I could not see was the ear-to-ear grin on the skipper, which makes everything OK again.

You are so right Bill. The Highlander sails like a dog heeled over like that. But everyone else is afraid of her so I have to go alone. And today I towed her from the lake to winter storage. No more sailing until 2012. And tomorrow is to be sunny and 65! :(

And Jorge, it's a cutter. Bestest cruising rig in spite of people like Blaise and the other Bill who butc.. or er modified their H37-cutters.

Ed,

You're right, time for an Avatar change. How's this one? Old picture though.

There has been this H37 cutter four boats down from us for years but I am never around when they are and visa versa until last weekend. Its your buddy Sanders. Very nice folks and was glad to make their acquantance. I always liked that cutter rig. We almost bought one back in '85 but ended up with a new H34 instead.

Great, Ed

You're heading south again? Thought we might finally see you in the Islands next summer!

Fair winds, and following seas!
