[C320-list] New Boat....

Sun Feb 19 10:19:58 PST 2006

I ordered the in-boom furling, I am not a proponent of in-mast furling--performance sucks and it can be difficult to reef....

No way am I going to go cruising and want to worry about wood on the topsides....I saw hull #1 at the Annapolis Boat Show in 2004 and that's the first thing I commented to Gerry about, I asked him what was he thinking?!! :)

I have ordered it with the A/C and 8kw genset from the factory, I plan to install watermaker and other goodies once it's delivered...

Orlando,

Congratulations! I crawled around on Hull #5 yesterday at the Boston Boat show. You definitely got yourself a live aboard!! There is just tons of room--the one thing I would not want is teak toe rails and it sounds like you are thinking alike. Just curious how you ordered the rig? In boom furling, standard?? 

Regards,

Jon Vez
