Art,
I know what you are asking, but we were so drunk when we laid RumRunner
over that I have no clue as to how to answer your question. Two batteries and
water tank forward. 8hp Tohatsu hanging off back end. 4 sailors on board so
I have no idea on balance of boat. I know that we had the rail buried most
of the day and it was rounding up frequently just prior to getting knocked
down by a 180 degree wind change. It still is one of my best days sailing.
I will try to get the new owners (Yankee Clipper) name for you. I don't
believe I have seen them on the list. Water in the lake, but the Corps is
determined to drop it four feet for the winter.

Rummy,
Truly, only with the touch of the Rumster! And the sage wisdom of Captain
Keller. Have you ever noticed a change of waterline length of the R22
when heeling or with additional ballast forrward, such a key factor in the
hull speed?
Are Bob and Sheila getting out on blue water yet? I want to get the name
of his new Yankee Clipper owner so I can be of help with his BR.
I hope all is well with you and your boat. Like, plenty of water this
year...
R,

Have a nice day !

Art,
Hull speed is easily surpassed. It just takes a lot of ballast (crew),
enough wind and a lot of rum.
I spent last weekend down on St. Simons Island with Captain Bob Keller
(Former Rhodes owner, Yankee Clipper) on his new to him Catalina 310. Had
enough wind to get his hull up to 8.3 which is faster than the rated hull
speed
for his boat.

Think of it, guys - what a terrible shame that with our infinite vigor
and
boundless brilliance we are still confined to the hull speed. We need
some more help from our fearless leader!
Well, back to a glass of Sherry in the BR...
Rummy, where are you?
Best,
Art
Have a nice day !

Ric, et al;
For the UPS, I have a seperate halyard that is there for whatever I
choose
to hoist (ie flag, Christmas lights, UPS, etc) mostly is just bangs the
mast like everyone else in the marina (I wouldn't want to be the only
quiet
boat on a breezy day :-)) I have found that while the UPS is self furling,
it
has a tendancy to try to come out if you hoist it just to motor out or
other times, so I keep it laying on the fordeck until I am ready to
deploy (if
it is anything over 5 knots I leave it in the bag since I know I won't be
using it)
On the question about the furler, I am presuming you are asking about the
130; and I cannot answer. I have never had the sail off the furling tube
(I
have on the main, and that sail has the groove in the furling tube that
one inserts the sail into) and have not ventured to inspect while under
full
sail to verify. I do know it has a luff rope cause I can see it.
