M_Boats: weekend sail

Sailed out to South Bass Island over the weekend...it was a pretty light air day Saturday, flying the 155% on a beam reach for most of the way. Passed a mid-eighties model Pearson 28 towing a dinghy on the way. And not just passed her, but trounced her. She was also flying a big genny and fully battened main; nice looking sails, much nicer/newer than poor Busca's rags but Busca just knocked the socks off of her on plain straight boat speed. Surely must've been the dinghy. hehehe Tod
