2-15-25: Gerry Hutchins, founder of Com-Pac, has crossed the bar and headed west.

Sincere condolences to his family, and a huge "Thank You!" to Gerry from all of us, I'm sure.
Requiescat in pace.

Bewildered

I have a bad right wrist along with decades of overuse of my right index finger. As a result, I will be mounting a one speed, self tailing Andersen winch on my starboard cabin top to ease raising the mainsail.  The jib is so small that the stock setup is sufficiently easy to leave it as is.  My new mainsail is 20 square ft larger than the stock sail which also takes a bit more effort to hoist.
