Oook ! I have engaged the overboard discharge pump, maybe it's time to get on to other items, this thread has pretty well run it's course. I have started a rather interesting but possibly short thread under " Low verses high aspect ratio main sail" under the Design heading that is dealing with some interesting problem solving associated with my new build, I.E. modifying a main sail, mainsheet tackle location. All input welcome there. I will come back here and announce the start of my new conversion/build including photos under "Boatbuilding" sub titled, " Boatbuilding projects underway" My thread will be titled "Building the Nancy G" For anyone interested the, Post will start in about a weeks time and will be ongoing until she's launched next year(2012). goodnight all--Geo
A yacht is not defined by the vessel but by the care and love of her owner
