  1. You might be onto something there, great visibility when reefed. It reminds me of a time sailing in a state championship race, we got a great start, rounded the top mark first, then hoisted the spinnaker upside down…it happens to all of us…

  2. I am nearing the end of my YMCA swim season so I’ve been a little busy but I found time this weekend to work on my boat! I worked on the strips in the outside and then flipped it over to start work on the inside of the boat! My cousin who is very artistic is making a sticker that says The Ritalou for the back. And if you remember from one of my first post I wanted be brave in the white lines so she is making that for me as well! (My dad will be happy to hopefully get his garage space back!)

  3. To do bottom maintenance on my CS 17, I launch it at the beach in about a foot of water. Then, tip her over with a little weight on the masts. I then can patch dings on the keel and Centerboard, and spend a nice afternoon sitting on the sand waiting for the epoxy to harden. A case of beer, radio with a ballgame on, a sandwich or two, some good company, and we've got a great day on the water. By evening, sail back to the launch with a smile and sunburn on my face. I do have a boat lift from Brownell as well for off season work. It was pricey, but I use it a few times a year to maintain the "fleet".
