<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, we're getting closer to actually launching
our new baby! Thanks to a lot of your suggestions and opinions, we're
coming to the end of some extensive yard work on our boat, and hopefully will be
getting her into the water down at Solomons in mid-Sep.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As I've mentioned to some of you, Mary Ann and I
are daysailors entering a new world here with the Alberg 30, and as such I have
a question concerning foresails. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Our boat came to us with a 150% Genoa on a Profurl
roller furler. We're inclined to keep the roller furling, but I'm
concerned about the size of the Genoa for a couple people inexperienced with
bigger boats...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For the Chesapeake, do you think we'd be better off
with a smaller foresail? Would it be more practical for us to learn with a
100% or 135%? Should I even be concerned? ;-)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Appreciate any thoughts or opinions! Thanks,
Bill & Mary Ann</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
