Bruce Leonard Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 My 29 year old son, Ethan, joined me for a late morning sail Saturday. It was blowing 12 to18 knots with some serious gusts. Only a few boats were in view, most flying just jibs or reefed mains. We sailed out of Bullochs Cove (Narragansett Bay) with a North wind behing us. As we broke free from the narrow passage at the entrance to the cove, the wind came up, lifting My Core Sound 20 onto a sustaining screaming plane. We literally burst onto that plane and were accross the Bay in no time. I've sailed Thistles and Lightnings, but never as fast as this. We were really moving1 My son was shaking his head and saying "wow" as he watched the wake and the spray over the bow. The CS20 is fast in all conditions, but it sure loves a good breeze. Graham has designed a fast boat. Real fast! Love those morning sails. Quote
JeffM Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Bruce, I'd love to see your picture, but can't seem to make it work. I hope to have the Beatrice Ann in the water before mid-August. Jeff Quote
