4034 has been out trying some racing.  Single handed it will keep you busy.  But flying a spinnaker is another story.  I am looking at 505 set ups and trying to add that to this boat.  Too risky to solo with all the ropes.  Now how to design that in.  The rope paths are a bit...


A sad day with the passing of Julian Bream.  Great classical guitarist, Lutist.  Thanks for the great music!

Well so much for that welding job!  I cracked the lower welds on the main cross beam so lifted the boat and pulled the trailer out.  Welded cross member then faced off with a serious corrosion issue on the main pipes.  The seam weld of the 2" x 2" box tubing is failing along the seam.  I re-welded the entire damaged area and re-coated and painted it up.  Need to redesign the trailer in the future and make another or buy one from the UK.
