[John O'Brien]

I'm a new 1986 H23 owner. By the way, I'm the one who wrote about the "Leaky Hull." Many thanks for the great suggestions tracing the small leaksDoes anyone out there use a "gennaker" on their H23 ?? Any thoughts ??Regards, John

yeppers!

I bought one from UK sailmakers a couple years ago and love it. They call it a Flasher. I designed the color scheme and I think it was about $600. It makes the difference between motoring or sailing on light air days. It's a trick to jibe with but I'm learning. It's great fun on light air days. I don't use it in breezy conditions. I even single hand with it but that's kinda tricky. Got a stuffer (scoop) too which makes single handing much easier. Goferit!
