Hi Guys,
Back and tired. Having surgery tuesday to rebuild my right shoulder. The boat is old, but I am older. We did indeed win for the third year which has never been done in the 43 year history of the regatta. We had a pretty smooth ride, only destroying two whisker poles. The whole race was a broad reach, which is the boats worst point of sail, which says a lot for John Cherubini's design, since we still won.
These boats are incredible, and yes Ed, you should convert Ladylove (and every other H37c) to a sloop.
