No test sail, Weather in CT. was beastly, but in spite of the rain, she got to crawl all over both a original layout, and a new layout boat. We also wandered over to B dock, and put a spike in the idea of a J/29. (Amazing how cramped a J/29 looks after spending half an hour in J/30) I extended an invite to try again next Wedndesday, and she may well go up to Boston this Sunday to look at a boat that's for sail. (And I gather she may well have local help to look over the boat)
The
CPYC gang certainly did a nice job in selling the boat. We had four seperate owners all explaining why they love their J/30.
Now if we can only get the weather to behave on Wednesday nights. We've lost 5 out of 8 Wed. night starts to either no wind, or howling line squalls, or both in alternation.
Last night, we had 30+ knot gusts across the clubhouse, and blinding rain, with a tornado warning, followed by zero wind and steady rain. Sigh.
