"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…"

- About Me:
- After my first two sailboats, I realized about 9 years ago that I wanted to go cruising and have been working towards that goal. Retiring last July, I have almost finished refitting Mikhaya, a Moody 425. With me, she's been from Tortola to Newport, and several times to the Abacos.
- Current location:
- Indian Harbour Beach, Florida
- Destinations visited:
- Tortola, Grand Turk, San Salvador Bahamas, Abacos (7 times), Annapolis (4 times), Bermuda, La Paz Mexico (flew to La Paz to mess with boats), Newport, R.I., Block Island, Mystic, CT
- Looking to:
- Cruise. Possibly up to Maine during a summer, the Caribbean, Venezuela, Guatemala, maybe the Panama Canal and into the Pacific for a circumnavigation. I'm not partial, and plans are written on water. The cruising life is what's important. Sailing, sunrises and sunsets over water, peaceful anchorages, blending in with local lifestyles. The destination names aren't as important as being a part of the destination we are in at the moment. Would like to find a partner to share this with, preferably female and capable. I don't need to be the captain, I can also follow orders, cook, and also can fix anything aboard... A handy guy, I am.
Newsflash! Found Cindy who has joined the crew is hopefully my last first mate. LIfe is good.
