    Hi all, My previous post was entitled’looking to buy’, well now I have bought one. The purchase involved a marathon journey, much agonising, worry about Covid closures and much dovetailing of events. This morning I took the boat out for a brief sail with the vendor and at it’s conclusion wrote the check. I think I have paid absolute top dollar for the boat but I wasn’t looking for a bargain but rather the right boat. I am by no means an expert sailor but I did notice how differently it handled to my Southern Cross 23, more tender and perhaps twitchier, if that is a nautical expression plus a little faster with no more sail. One of the few defects is I believe the sails are rather ‘blown out’ and in need of replacement. Any suggestions for replacement of sails would be appreciated and also general tips for the finer points of handling the yacht? Is there an RL club or association? Regards all Al
