Well, do what my Thurs night skipper does...  He's got at least 
4 other smaller boats in "reserve"!  Then, too, he is looking for 
a bigger boat as well.

Stowing for trailing isn't easy.  Fortunately, the foredeck area of

the boat.

This is true!  BTW, ever come up with a good wax?  I've been 
selling Mother's Carnuba, as it's pure carnuba.  Others have 
petrolium in it and I would put them on my car, let alone my 
boat.  From what I've seen, it lasts quite well, though it's 
not the easiest to apply.  
If you have something that may be better, please let me know...
