I'm still getting the hang of coaxing the speed out of her, especially in

was an eye opener - barely a breath of wind and we were making 3-4 knots
closehauled with a #4 jib. Closereaching in 10 knots we could make a steady
Yes I agree very good. Everything about the way they built only 147 35 MKII

I think it was acetone that I used also, which worked very well to remove

Biggest problem with some sealants/adhesives like 5200 for exterior use is
sunlight or uv exposure. Best thing I have found to clean the rub rail is

testing.
But, wait, wait, isn’t there more?
