Checked out boat looks good for the most part. A few dings on the hulls. Also the tramp has 1-2 seasons left in it. Hulls were pretty much dry. My onl...

They really help the shape of the jib. This in turn is your key to directing airflow over the leading edge of the main sail. If you are not concerne...

I think that the 21 is the right boat for what I am looking for. I never have a shortage of crew. I don't race, but want something fast. I have acc...

As for the setup, luckily I do have the luxury of keeping my boat on a floating dock made for beach cats. I have it setup all season. The vide...

Any luck finding a spot there? How is the sailing in that area? Is the water cold? I use to sail on oil tankers up to providence through there and r...
