Given the list of Eugene's improvements and additions, given multiple witness to the boat's condition, given that Eugene sounds like a very meticulous sailor/boat owner, my very humble opinion (my opinion, plus $1.75, might get you a cup of coffee) is that a survey would be a waste of money. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Irv Kooris" <kooris@rcn.com> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 10:13 PM Subject: 17 --- storm jib Tod, I will check with Eugene, he had a new storm made for "Whoa Nellie:.

It seems that about the comfortable limit with my blown out single-reefed main and 80% jib is around 25 kts, afterwhich I have to feather when beating. Thanks, Tod (30 days and counting)
