Dean,

The 32s came as cutter or sloop rigged. Mine happens to be sloop, although I had been looking for a cutter rigged CD at the time.

BTW, do you keep your boat at Handy Boat? On our Maine cruise we spent two nights there while visiting Whisper's Captain and First Mate.

I did realize that all of the 32s were not cutters originally.

Yes, Loda May is at Handy Boat along with quite a few other boats whose owners frequent this board. Are you referring to Allen and Pam? Nice folks.

Thank you Tom and Jean Keevil. That photo is just the same as the foredeck on our boat. It looks a neat arrangement; I like to let the anchor out by hand and 'feel' the bottom so it is hauling it up that concerns us.
