Thanks for the response Guys. I have purchased Equinox. Found the Perko latch but no door.
They will be assigning a rating to the boat up here in Nova Scotia next week. Since it is -25 degrees C I won't be sailing anytime soon. I notice the ratings vary a bit by area from 108 to 114. How do you guys feel about your rating and what is fair? My observation from outside the area is that where the boats race or raced one-design they are rated slightly faster since they are competing against similar boats they are probably better tuned then when they race PHRF they do better, where there aren't as many they don't do as well and the rating is slower. Correct?
I also notice there a couple of boats with higher rigs around Long Island as I recall.
Anyway, I'll be on my own up here racing in with wide cross section of boats so any racing/tuning information would be appreciated.
May need a headstay and foil/furler as the one I have has been broken, any suggestions. Also a mainsail cover to get started.
Regards
Rod Stright
