OK so this is really a dead news group, and it's no wonder. All the bored sailors have gone board sailing. I tried to sell my 25 ft ketch here last month and got one reply from some net.admin type who wondered why i did not limit the distribution of my message to where i was willing to deliver it. If nobody wants to buy such a fine boat, it is probably because they are out windsurfing. I, for one, have not even been *aboard* the ketch for a month. It is far too much of a thrill having the whole works in your hands and at your feet -- modulating the lift from a fully articulated rig !! ( *** heeling is obsolete! *** ). If there are any old tyme cruising buffs out there who want a neat, capable ketch, who are still happy with 5kts, drop a line. Meanwhile, net.boardsailing anyone? David Isenberg ihnp4!mtuxo!isen p.s. Is anyone experimenting with articulated rigs on anything larger than a windsurfer out there?
