Very nice couple. He gave me a few tips to get the best out of her, such as "set the bobstay tight enough to give a definite downward bend on the bowsprit before settingthe jib halyard up as tight as possible"etc. If the weather ok on the weekend some experimenting is in order.
Awake here in Nova Scotia, guys. I guess Kiwis and Bluenosers rule the WBF...
