Post subject:  Sweeeeeet !
I bought the 17 for the simplicity of the single rig but that rig is VERY nice!

If I had the $$$ I'd order one for sure. Apparently I'd still need to buy the hardware (?)

Unfortunately the first thing I need to spend money on is a new Main (or have a panel replaced) since mine is delaminating.

And I used the boat as a lawn ornament all last year.

And winter is here now so I won't be thinking of sailing for a few months.

And blah blah blah :roll: :lol:

Stay tuned as this sad tale of a busy life interferes even more with the love of my life - sailing !! :shock:

Post subject:  Get a Squaretop
Unless you have enough 17's around to race class, get a Squaretop. You will love it. Makes a LOT of difference in light air.

Just a thought,

Doug

Post subject:  Squaretop - good idea
Thanks for the idea Doug. Actually, the more I think of it, the less I am convinced that I want a jib, so a new squaretop main is a great idea. It will improve speed on those downhill runs for sure. Any suggestions on where to start looking for one ? Thanks.

And a pirate flag too ... :wink:

I have sent a number of email's to Chip at Whirlwind Sails and got no reply. The link you posted times out. Maybe he is out of business? I would go through Rick. Whoever you guys get a Squaretop through you will LOVE it, especially in light air.
