Thanks Loren. I just happened to log into this old email account and saw the notification. Could be karma?!? 2011!!! Where does the time go? Oh yeah, I got married... and some things, like computer time, got in the way of all the other fun stuff. I pm'd Curtis. True, too true, Invictus is...

Independence TFP. I think the craig's list poster got the model wrong. Looks like an Independence vice Cuising 31. It has some nice additions also...some things to add to my to-do-li$t.

Congrat Rob, to you and your larger family! What a wonderful gift to be thankful for!

To each their own Pretty cool for someone who has time and money on his hands and a yearning to be an attention whore. File this under "goofy shiat that humans do."

Found this on craig's list...don't know if it's from someone on these discussion forums. http://norfolk.craigslist.org/boa/2011383925.html

Cutty Sark or Cobb's Hey Salty Dawg, welcome to Hampton Roads! What part are you in? Where is your boat kept? Not that it matters much since you can just sail to whatever yard you want. My $0.02... I have only had my boats in two yards, both in the Little Creek area; Cutty Sark and Cobb's...

Waterlogged My name is Dave, 43, and until recently, did all of my sailing on other people's boats. My folks were too keen on buying into this "luxury." I grew up in and on the water. I started competitive swimming at 5 and swam competitively through my high school years. I still make it to...

Nice lines That is a really nice looking E31. I love the paint job! Those are also the first photos I've seen of an asym flying on an E31...something I haven't done on Invictus yet.

Invictus' marina I forgot to respond to this thread... I keep mine at Bay Point Marina in Norfolk, VA. That's where the PO had it, and I liked the place so much I kept her there. Nice marina and the more expensive of the Vinings Marine Group marinas in this area. $7.50/ft. But, it is worth...

Pm I have to rip myself away from hijacking this thread anymore. Frank, I sent you a PM.

Sailing with the jib Try sailing down the bay with the jib only (not wanting to thread jack :cool: even more than we already are:esad: Thanks also! The Adm. likes sailing which is a major plus for me. If I do get out, I won't be out until about 1700 since we have rehearsal about the time...

Sailing thru Frank, Ah, very cool. I'm hoping to get out on the 24th. It is the day before the Admiral-to-be and I start to share a command...our wedding. Fortunately, I am strictly forbidden to see the beautiful bride the day before the wedding and I think the highest probability to avoid...

Double reef Frank, Just last week I was out while it was blowin 20+ on the bay. I had a double reef and the yankee cut jib. I would have thought the stay sail would have been more balanced, but we were sailing with the sweetest helm and the rail just kissing the water...when the water...

Off to the store! Ben, thanks for the info! I'll make sure I get enough to take a couple of practice runs. It has been a few years since I used to make splices for tow ropes for towing sailplanes (gliders). I just hope I can reuse some of the old hardware somehow...those things are expensive...
