Gary: Sweet Dream has the new telescoping ladder that Bob is installing and it works great. I use it when going aboard from the street and it handles my 190 lbs well. I haven't tried it in the water but it should be fine. Doug: I've done the jiffy reefing thing once and it seems to be simple. I also took her out on her maiden voyage Sunday with my 15 year old granddaughter at the helm. She tacks like a dream in light airs, points well ( once I remembered to slack the topping lift) and heaves to with no problem. I didn't do the sail backwards exercise since we were dodging thunderstorms in the bay. By the way, the new Bimini top is great!
