Alubat sailing into Mahone Bay a couple years ago and was impressed with how it sailed. It was French and I only ever saw one man aboard but he sure seemed competant! It is a completely different boat than my CheoyLee35 but my loyalty to my GOB was severly shaken!! If Jon had one of these he'd still manage to wait until no one else was moving. Hell, he'd probably wait until he had to drag it over the ice... ; ) I hope your Bay fills up soon Jon, it's real cold out west and you don't want that catching you. Best of luck! David
