Mine is a 1983, but no racing, except when a bunch of us cruisers get together over across Lake Champlain on the New York side at Split Rock we sometimes try to prove our cruiser is faster getting there or back. Hanked on foresails, no spinnaker, adjustable split backstay (which seems overkill for such a small mainsail), boom vang, shin ripping traveler in the cockpit. Ed
