1st freedomyachts.org member help: F25 main

I have to thank Matt,

For helping me with this sail the boat came with a Melges 24 main but I really wanted the full batton orig to help with the rotating wing, I plan to test both sails and report the findings for all of you to see.

bottom paint: looking for best option

Well school has been taking all of my time, but still working on finding the best bottom paint for RI as I can for the $$. I've also decided to keep my F25 at Wickford for the 2010 season, and hoping to enjoy my first season in RI.

cheers,
