wow, thanks so much for all those kind words and wishes. I didn't touch a violin for 3 days! Holy Crap... but I did take a trip down the coast to Morro Bay and visit with a few friends that have their 50' Ketch moored there. Yes, I did enjoy the fruits of a distilled corn thing... lol... it was beautiful weather and the temps were awesome. I searched the sandy beach with my metal detector for most of the day on Fri and then returned home on Sat afternoon.

It was a very relaxing 3 day early weekend and I feel very refreshed and energized once again.

Probably sails like a tank! [chuckle] Give it a brisk breeze and it'll haul butt with all that canvas sail area up there I bet and what a handfull. I don't care for a ketch rig, too much intrusion into the cockpit area and putting a hard dodger or bimini top on it is almost impossible.

Rich wasn't in a position schedule wise to take her out so I didn't get any first hand experience while down there. We weren't really in a coherent position to sail much of anything to be honest! Ha.

I prefer a Cat myself, like this one at the very least. Actually looking for a 38'-44' owners version.
