Thanks guys, great feedback.
Yes
Cavalierthis Tri and the HC are totally different boats but their
price brings them close. Run and hide in comfort or tough it out under staysail alone, that is the question.
I'm gratified
catsketcher that you remember my preference for stayless rigs and this one has also a unique
furling system where the lazy jacks raise the furled sail and secure it on a vertical position against the
mast, quick and neat and no issues with the battens. He has furled without problems at 40°, amazing! It has one big
electric winch to raise the mains and do the
anchor duty as well, no other muscle is required.
It ain't pretty inside though and I'm withholding opinion until I step aboard. First I must speak with CW and get information on the
builder. Did CW inspect the boat during the construction, why isn't he listing it himself etc.
Yes, Henk de Velde, quite the sailor, 6 or 7 times around! Respect.
