Hello: I am just another sailor that enjoys the sea. I have been sailing about 30 years. Originally, I built and sailed a double ended small "duck boat" with a Hobie sail. Following that, it has been sailing with friends on various Catalinas and a Hunter for a 6 week trip from S.F. to Cabo. That included partaking in the '08 BaHa. Now, I really remember the exciting times that I had in the small boat. I will probably end up with a Montgomery or Potter,if things work out... Bruce King Fair Oaks,CA
