Hey gang!

Stargazer is hauled out. Her first season sailing since.....1997, has ended 
successfully, with a few bumps along the way. They can be patched. :) Thanks 
for all the support and advice.

Plenty of projects left to do that we did not get to last spring, and early 
summer.

Question; has anyone found that while powersailing on port tack in any kind 
of wind, the exhaust thru hull submersion causes back pressure in the exhaust 
and overheating of the engine? If so, have they moved the exhaust thru hull up 
to the lower corner of the transom to keep it clear of the water at any angle 
of heel?

Thx,
Lee
