In a fit of sailing frenzy, I bought some stuff at the end of season in October. Sorta early Christmas. I bought a bona-fide whisker pole (to replace my homemade job with the aluminum hook at the end) for wing-and-wing sailing. In the early spring I will be attaching hardware to the boat to make my traveller adjustable ( a la Phill Root,) a jam cleat to the boom for my new 2:1 outhaul I put on, some nice brass coat hooks just under the cuddy edge on which to hang stuff, and I'm going to get a new mainsheet swivel cleat and put that on. I might get a new jib, too.
But best Christmas present is that I am right now vacationing in San Diego (from Spokane Washington) and will be doing some sailing every day! I'm at a hotel on Mission Bay and have, at my doorstep, a variety of boats - Catalina 14, catalina 18, and Capri 22. Fueling my dreams of obtaining a second slighlty larger boat.
