Interesting. I am playing with sailing the Newport-Bermuda 1-2 and I too am a bit scared off by the entry costs. If I had a storm trisail (I don't yet), I'd spray paint the top third orange with a can of compatible (latex) paint. Any idea what the EPIRB/Raft rental costs are? I qualified last summer by sailing the offfshore single handed 160 in my 1975 C&C 33.
