   I just might. I spoke with my sailmaker who's only concern was the location of the genoa tracks. I have the block pretty far back so there may be room to move it forward if I go for this conversion.
  But Brack has a good point...you all do. The factory one is really beautiful and the anchor roller is nice- the whole unit works well. I raked my mast forward about 2 degress and that helped. I have toyed with making a new rudder blade...that one is not even on the list.
   My problem is I come up with all these projects to do but soon it's time for spring launch and all I want to do is sail.
   Truth is, she does sail fine as she is set up. The new sails made a world of difference...I may  talk to my sailmaker about converting the new main to loose footed. Or I may not. If I do all the projects in my head, there won't be time to sail!
   Davo- I like your conversion. Reminds me of the one PeterG did on his 19 which had a nearly nuetral helm.

P:
   I might just do that...I'll bring the pizza this time. And, dang- that Flicka's still there- been moved and the mast is down. I really should stop seeing her!

Bob,
Is this what you are looking for?





I saw this one on Seneca Lake last summer.
