<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dave, (and all) thanks!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Sounds like we'll keep the
150...if I come back from my first sail with no fingernails, you'll all hear
about it! ;-) just kidding...it's so great to have you guys you to sound things
off of...the idea of going from a dinghy to this 30 footer is pretty
intimidating...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Hope to get her floating next
week...at which time I will introduce her properly, as she will be
rechristened!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Dave, by the way, she's from
your neck of the country--until last month, she's spent her whole life at
Keane's Marina in Detroit.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Thanks again, Bill &
Mary Ann</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=1>I agree on the 150 - it is very manageable. And
you are wise to keep the profurl. I got one this summer and it is really
terriffic - better than harken, I think. I am a little jealous that you can
put you boat in the water in September. Up in northern Michigan, putting boats
to bed for the winter is a september and october event - a little depressing
sometimes. Oh.well, it goes with the territory. Enjoy your boat. Even as a new
alberger, I can tell you they are great boats.</FONT><BR><BR>>>>

<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></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></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
