Art,
I know what you are asking, but we were so drunk when we laid RumRunner  
over that I have no clue as to how to answer your question. Two batteries and  
water tank forward. 8hp Tohatsu hanging off back end. 4 sailors on board so 
I  have no idea on balance of boat. I know that we had the rail buried most 
of the  day and it was rounding up frequently just prior to getting knocked 
down by a  180 degree wind change. It still is one of my best days sailing. 
I will try to get the new owners (Yankee Clipper) name for you. I  don't 
believe I have seen them on the list. Water in the lake, but the Corps is  
determined to drop it four feet for the winter.

Rummy, 

Truly, only with the touch of the Rumster!  And the sage wisdom of Captain 
Keller.   Have you ever noticed a  change of waterline length of the R22 
when heeling or with additional ballast  forrward,  such a key factor in the 
hull speed?

Are Bob and Sheila  getting out on blue water yet?  I want to get the name 
of his new Yankee  Clipper owner so I can be of help with his BR.

I hope all is well with  you and your boat.  Like, plenty of water this  
year...

R,

Have a nice day  !

Art,
Hull speed is easily surpassed. It just takes a lot of  ballast (crew),  
enough wind and a lot of rum.
I spent last  weekend down on St. Simons Island with Captain Bob Keller  
(Former  Rhodes owner, Yankee Clipper) on his new to him Catalina 310. Had  
enough  wind to get his hull up to 8.3 which is faster than the rated  hull 
speed 
for his  boat.

Think of  it, guys - what a terrible shame that with our  infinite vigor 
and 
boundless  brilliance we are still confined to the  hull speed.  We need 
some more  help from our fearless  leader!

Well,  back to a glass of Sherry in  the  BR...

Rummy, where are  you?

Best,  

Art

Have a nice day  !

Ric, et  al;
For the UPS, I have a  seperate halyard that is there for whatever I  
choose 
to hoist (ie  flag, Christmas lights, UPS, etc) mostly is just bangs the  
mast like  everyone else in the marina (I wouldn't want to be the only 
quiet   
boat on a breezy day :-)) I have found that while the UPS is self furling,  
it 
has a tendancy to try to come out if you hoist it just to motor out or  
other  times, so I keep it laying on the fordeck until I am ready to  
deploy (if 
it is  anything over 5 knots I leave it in the bag since I  know I won't be 
using  it)

On the question about the furler, I  am presuming you are asking  about the 
130; and I cannot answer. I  have never had the sail off the furling  tube 
(I 
have on the main,  and that sail has the groove in the furling tube  that 
one inserts  the sail into) and have not ventured to inspect while under  
full  
sail to verify. I do know it has a luff rope cause I can see   it.
