DC> HN> Is the lark a catboat rig? Where is the mast on this little jewel of
DC> HN> Sequim Bay?
DC>It's sloop rigged.  However, the jib, at least the one I have,
DC>doesn't reach to the shrouds.  I think there is a larger one
DC>that is class-legal, but it would have to sheet inside of
DC>the stays.
Thats gotta make it crowded when you have a full crew eh?!
DC>BTW, I have access to "Big Red" and I'm considering using it
DC>as 300%  (that's right!  300%) gennie.
I'm not so sure what "Big Red" is, but a 300% genni is a lot of cloth!
will the boat be big enough to hold it when you're not flying? 
DC>Well, as I mentioned in a previous post, not as good as I
DC>thought we would, but, especially on the last race, a
DC>respectable showing.  I've got to work on starting strategy,
DC>especially timing (we didn't even have a watch, let alone
DC>a stop watch!).  Anyhow, on that last one, we snuck up on
DC>the whole fleet and gave them a scare!
DC>Oh well, there's need summer season to look forward too!
You've got all winter to plan strategy and visit the library and look
up books on racing strategy! I'll bet your're gonna be a wizard by
spring!
chat with you soon!
