"Michael,
From experience over three keel boats a fully battened main is almost a requirement.
Not only will it make dropping the sail into the boom bag far easier it certainly reduces any flogging and vastly lengthens the life of the sail. While…"

I see you have been pretty busy uploading photos-wow. There are some great shots there.
The NY harbor is a great place to keep a boat in the summer if you work in the area. There are so many weekend escapes so close by. We chose to keep our boat in Newport Marina in Jersey City. Iris runs the marina there and you don't find such a high quality of service just anywhere. The price is better than Liberty Landing and it wouldn't be the same without Iris. So that is my recommendation for the NY harbor.
I am so happy you found Seaknots!
