Never did we raise a mast in a head wind. This applied to he Prindle 19 as well the Prindle 16 we sailed. I am making mental notes on hat needs to be done in launching my Monty 15 tomorrow for her maiden oyage either at Ft Armistead Park off the Patapsco River or Sandy Point tate Park off the Chesapeake Bay. Dr. Judy B tells me my new Hyde sails should be here soon J so a few sails ith my stock HP sails should give me a good idea what I just bought.
