Another thing, Todd. If you find yourself needing to haul the boat out of the water on the trailer, be sure to tie a 3/8" line about 50' long to the trailer's winch stand so that 1/2 goes back on each side to the genoa winches. Before pulling out, after tightening up the trailer winch, snug up each line with 3-4 turns around the genoa winches and cleat the line. To keep the boat lined up, you'll need to tighten one side a bit, then the other, going back and forth a few times. This line will help keep the boat from sliding back on the trailer.

<br />Hey Chuck! How goes it? Up in Baltimore now and planning the trip in the next 6-8 wks out to CO and back. Is Confetti in the water?

Yep Confetti was launched in Florida last Thanksgiving. Been doing some racing and breaking Paul in on crewing. He's doing great and having fun racing! Its really nice water here compared to Galveston Bay, but a LOT shallower! Confetti draws a bit more than 4ft, so I keep the depth sounder on all the time to confirm the bump I felt was us going aground!! &lt;grin&gt;

You will have a ball sailing up in Baltimore. Send pics on your trip, etc.! Very glad you kept the boat and will be using her.

Cheers!

Chuck
