A complete set of Neil Pryde’s Vectrix Loadpath construction sails (Technora main, #1, #3) are on order for the 2012 season. A new spinnaker arrived for the 2011 SMCM Governor’s Cup. In addition, Morning Star’s bottom is being redone with Interlux Regatta (Baltoplate) paint.
My plan is to sail with seven crew while racing.
