>Rummy,
>Back when you asked that question I was not at all enamored with
>my big boat. I wanted my Rhodes back SOOOO badly!
>I had tons of projects...getting off the Polyglo that was 2 years old was
>the
>seemingly insurmountable task at the time. I was moderately intimidated
>about
>taking it out alone, etc. In short I was very discouraged.
>However, the boat looks glamorous now after lots of compound buffing and
>double
>wax layers. Toilet is fixed. Stove and sink and all outside stainless
>shiny.
>I have worked myself to the bone. (meanwhile, my house is filthy with piles
>of stuff everywhere)
>I have taken her out alone a few times and anchored and pulled anchor
>alone.
>(No windlass(()
>Stay out overnight alone...nothing like waking up to coffee and a book and
>swinging at
>anchor with NO houses for miles.
>I have lazy jacks and auto-pilot so I can lock her into the wind and raise,
>lower the new
>mainsail. Was not sure I would like them and my racing partner bitched all
>winter about how he hates
>lazyjacks. He and I went out one afternoon and flew around the lake in big
>wind. When it came time
>to lower the sail I made him do it. He started out with ...gee, I kinda
>like
>these lazyjacks..them pretty soon
>he is yelling at the top of his lungs..."I LOVE these lazyjacks!"
>We have raced her. We are all tiller folks so having trouble with the fact
>that you have to
>tack this pig slower than our other racing boats. (one of our team members
>calls my boat "the pig".
>We pulled a very ballsy move on the two
>35.5's who are the 1 & 2 boats in this class...on port we slipped in
>between
>them last week.
>I had been sailing the pig enough that I just KNEW we could make it...but
>man, it was less than
>2 feet from the anchor of the oncoming boat.
>I am chairman of the 100 mile race and we are the committee boat, so in
>April we were at anchor in the
>middle of the lake with cold north wind howling for 27 hours. We were VERY
>comfortable. Played cards with
>the sun coming in all over. (The boat has great windows and is a medium
>light teak with stone cushions, thus,
>very pleasant inside. I detest the dark cave-look that some interiors
>become.
>This is the first friday since the first of April that I have not spent on
>the boat.
>I had a business dinner last night (((. It does have AC but you must be at
>dock for that. I am not a big fan
>of AC and would prefer to be out in a cove, but it gets hot and heavy here
>in July and august.
>So, in summary, I an now liking my bigger boat. I just wish I could have
>afforded to keep the Rhodes for those
>1.5-2 hour sails I used to take regularly.
