Five rows of reef points!

(Ray Hunt did this fifty years ago to his 41' Concordia Harrier to spoof the racing rules.)

Heh heh, I recall trying to wind Margo up with that photo a few years ago.

Didn't work very well, but I had fun.:D

Yikes!
I'll bet that the stresses on the front half of that hull required some extra structure.
When reefed, the center of effort had to cause a nasty lee helm.

Hi John -

I'm here. Just nothing to report. Well, except for a lightening strike :eek: and a quite serious leak. The latter of which is probably the fault of the stupid woman that caulked her... :o and neither of which I've had time to write about nor fix...

Alas.
