Any trouble with the lobster-pots in Maine, Tod? A friend of mine sailed his MacGregor 25' in Maine and complains about the tides, the hidden rocks, and, most of all, the lobster-pots: This friend is an experienced sailor and boatbuilder . . . --Craig

I really enjoyed my trip there Sept, '02. I doubt I'll make the Chesapeake in '04....putting North Channel 1st priority, then Maine. ******** Busca has two rudders: a full depth one and one that I trimmed about 9" or so off the bottom so that it would be above the keel stub when raised. Works only if you KNOW you have a grounding risk and raise the rudder beforehand. Very noticeable loss of performance/control with the trimmed rudder, unfortunately.
