Hi there, Winthrop!
I was wondering if maybe you had fallen off the edge of the earth!
How was Sweden?

name
I did not change my boat's name, BuscaBrisas, which is Spanish for "Looking for breezes". Actually, there is some motivation to change it because most people I talk with have trouble pronouncing and spelling it, but I haven't the heart since it is her original name. I bought her from a guy...

shelter
I elected to buy a carport for my restoration shelter. For your boat, a standard sized one for a car might work, and you could then sell it after you were finished with it if you wished: [img]http://www.htmills.com/images/LF-carport.jpg[/img] Defender http://www.defender.com might be a good place to...

I bought a keel off a boat a few years back....
It was a fin keel from an old racer about the size of a J22. Weighed several hundred pounds (700?). I cut it off the boat with a chainsaw (went through several chains; fiberglass dulls a chain VERY quickly) and hauled it home on a borrowed trailer. Cost me $50.

I presume you've experimented...
with the mainsheet, easing or trimming it?
and helm angle?
Other than fooling with those two things, I can't think of anything else. Sounds like you are going about it right.

my nephew bought....
a home-designed/built 30' boat that has an outboard in a well that has a really slick design: the outboard pivots up and a flap folds down to fill the hole, greatly reducing the turbulence created by the well.
Way cool, but it does take a long cockpit to work.
