I'd like to share that I bought a used boat from VTGent49 last spring and found him to be a real straight shooter. He was honest and fair, and mailed me battens when he found I'd forgotten them. I was unsure about dealing with somebody "from the internet," but VTGent proved himself to be a real...

I'm 5'9" and a shaky 150-155 depending on breakfast, and I have a full rig. It's doable, I just have to hike like I mean it and sometimes I can't trim it the way I want, life happens. I've never been out and wished I had gone with the radial.
