You're close Bill, can you taste it? The faint smell of fiberglass down below, the feel of the teak, the soft texture of the sheets and lines...... Fabulous sport we have here. Just finished a very sporty sail with Theo (fellow M23 owner) on my 23 on Lake Pepin. Great winds on Sunday, loooong tacks, perfect temps. How lucky we are.
