hi everyone, just purchased a 85 standard rig, very excited!! three questions for all you gurus out there:

1) What hull speed can I expect?

2) How well does this rig perform in light air (I have a roller furled 150)? I sail on Lake Erie, which can go from 3 knots breeze to 40 knots in the course of 10 minutes, but light air is frequent as summer looms on.

3) My main I suspect is a problem, it measures 24.75 feet X 8.75. I realize this is a foot short on the foot, but being a masthead rig, do you thing this will have any real effect? I will purchase a new main for next season, but how do you think this main will work for this year?

Thanks, looking foreward to great sailing on my new 25!!!

FYI, Lance, you probably got this double-post by double-clicking on the Post button. Unfortunately, you can't delete your own topic, but you can delete replies you make to a topic.

No problem... You'll get the hang...

max hull speed is 6.3 knts. but i think that is under perfect conditions and a clean bottom. i was sailing the chesapeake yesterday in about 15 mph winds, (i also have a standared rig)my sails are kinda old and my bottom was full of barnecles but i was pushing about 4knts with the jib rolled to about a 100% jib.

sail the boat for a while the way you have it. i would look into spending money on safety upgrdes before performace upgrades. the roller furled jib will come into good use when you get a blow at 40 knts
