I do! 100% jib on a furler. I'd kinda like a genny, too, but figured I'd start with this. The Admiral started out hating more than 10 degrees - she's ok up to 20 now - trying to break her in slowly! 8)

Westport MA into Horseshoe Bay. Nice people, good launch, DEC always there keeping order. Sail to Elizabeth's and MV from there. Shoot the Canal if its a longer trip. 40 bucks a year annual pass
