did you compare how you did to windward with a pearson 36 that had a working centerboard???
I'm guessing you didn't... and you'd probably be surprised by what a difference it does make.

I'm guessing the O'Day could really use that board though.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
