My '84 is still getting mileage out of its McKibbons . . .

Yes, Tom, Armstrong sails were standard equipment
on 17's, sandwiched in between sails from W.D.Schock's loft and McKibbon
sails. Those are OLD sails, and deserve to be retired. Need any
tarps?

Whoa, there's a
name from the past eh Jerry? Would there have been Reggie Armstrong
sails as original equipment on a 75 M17? Anyone else seen these on
their boats? t

Hey!
Isn't that a coincidence Rich. Jerry built my new standing rigging
too! I guess I'm surprised it only emits a high pitched tone and not
a rousing, brew-soaked, multi-versed sea
chantey...

Tom:
The forestay is part of the new rigging package from Jerry
Montgomery. Do you think
that may have something to do with the sound?
There's no doubt that once it started singing I dropped the wind
meter and went as far forward as possible and held on. The spray
was soaking me while I kept her pointed as high as
possible. If you let off just a little bit the waves and wind
would knock me off course and there would be too much jib (4.5 ounce, 36
sf) pulling me down. What a rush!!
Now that several days have passed I wish I were back in the same
situation. It's soo much more fun than being back at work.
