That all sounds good except the blooper. My recollection of using the blooper on my one tonner was, we went a quarter knot faster when we put it up and quarter knot faster when we took it down. The best thing about it was that it kept the crew ingaged trying to keep it full and out of the water. 😁 Fred Hazzard S/V Fury C&C 44 Portland Or
