Zingaro, nice pics. I noticed you have a Honda Element pulling your 16. How do you like it? Stick or auto? I want to get one, and need to be able to pull my 20 or 16 around. Just wondering..... Also, are you from SD?

The HOnda is home....its got one seat in it and a full single mattress about 18 inches off the floor and space under for food and supplys. Run the coffee pot and computers and 110 v stuff off inverters. Its registered in SD but im homeless. Its by choice..Im spending time making it dow the coast of TX. In Rockport Ive sailed 4 out of the last 7 days. Good breezes and lots of trap time. I think you said you have a "tang" off a mast? Im wanting to rig a main for a reacher in place of the jib. Not for down here as theres usually plenty of air.
Happy every day........reguardless of what YEAR!

OH and its an auto has 160 HP. Ive pulled a tandem trailer with probably a gross weight of 2500 pounds. It does good but had the drawback of front wheel drive. Been stuck in the sand pullin the 16 down here

Thanks for the info. I forgot to look for the Tang, but I am sure I have one. Big race in Yankton SD in August, so head on home in the summer....
