The boat rec= ently sold, Frers-a-Jack, had been in long term yard storage, so it will be g= ood for her get back out there. There are a couple of boats listed on Yacht= world if you know anyone looking. Wild Thing (Boston) is listed twice, Star= gazer (Boston), Mischief (Annapolis), and Mystified (Chicago). Vapor Trail (= MA) is also listed in our For Sale section. The biggest news from 2010 was our gathering in Branford in July. We manage= d to get 8 boats on the line, and got in 2 great days of racing. No real su= rprise that Wolverine was again the boat to beat, but I think Dave was feeli= ng the pressure from some of the other boats out there. We are slated to do= this over again this year (July 9-10), with a promise of squeezing more rac= es into the two days (weather permitting). The award for greatest distance t= raveled goes to Rod Stright and his crew who came down from Halifax to sail o= n other people's boats to get some experience. With a little luck Rod will b= ring Equinox down this year to "dance with her sisters". Judging by some of= the conversations, not only did everyone have a great time and promise to c= ome back, but in addition to Equinox there may be another boat in the wings t= o round the fleet out to ten boats this year. That will be an event not to m= iss! And more. Please check it out. Contributions/stories always welcome!

For a definitive answer you might reach out to Barr= ry Carrol who is still active after selling the boat building business. I ha= ve always thought of the boat more for coastal racing/cruising but with noth= ing to back that up. The construction is moderately light. The phrase "reef e= arly" comes to mind. I've done 10'+ waves with reefed main and #3 and clearl= y survived but don't know the limits.
