Well considering that last year - when I got the Kevlar for my C-27, yes I know the rules. We did a DNF because the Apoise crew and I all agreed, sail it all the way or just go home. I'll intend to carry that tradition onward because motoring to me seems the cheap way out - and if already that badly off - may as well end it right

Nah - no cruising class, for learning perposes I'd rather be in the race class section...who knows maybe with dumb luck we'll place - which reminds me I have two weeks to figure out what 11 sails I have in my aft berth....

I am on the N-pier or commonly referred to the mega yacht guest moorage. At the tip of the main waterway - there is a really nice 60+ blue Tayana (I think) right next to mine....Let me know I could use a spinnaker god
