PK, Vance and crew. FIRST in division all the way! What an accomplishment! Second in PHRF and you beat all the Cal 40' except one boat for boat. Hope you get some much needed sleep and enjoy your time in Hawaii!!!!!

Subject: Catalian 42 & Bluewater

Hi, nice to hear of your accomplishments. My wife and I are thinking of purchasing a 42 ft boat. We liek the Catalina 42 and the Hunter 41. What additions/modifications did you make to your boat to make it Bluewater ready ? Did you install a staysail ? if not why not ? Any use for in-mast re less risky having someone go on top to reef etc.. ? Thanks
