Just out of curiosity, where do you sail in Colorado Springs?

It went real smooth.Went for a shake down cruise on Sat. The wind was howling probally 20 knots gusting to 30,so we killed some time installing some new hardware and tried tuning the rig to wait for it to calm down a little. After a couple of hours it didn't calm down much so we decided just to go for it. We reefed the main at the dock and headed out. The hardest part of sailing in that kind of weather is just getting in and out of the slip. the C27 is such a great stable boat and did great. I sailed and raced a Merit 25 for years and while it is a great boat it doesnt handle heavy weather like the C27. The wind died just as we were pulling into the slip so we had no drama docking Love the boat. Hope everyone has a good season! 1982 #4823 Trinity Kris Colorado Springs Co
