Why limit the thrill of sailing a thoroughbred to E-27 racers? Let's figure to configure the boat so it is more suited to day-cruising light-handed on SF Bay and beyond. Start by adding a torpedo-bulb to the keel. According to Carl S. via Steve Seal, 500# would equal two hardies on the rail. Next fit a Hoyte Boom for a non-overlapping jib with slab-reefing. While we're at it, installing a SailDrive would certainly eliminate the reported hassels with conventional out-boards. For those who sail often, wet-sail the boat and expect that there will be a market for a not-raced heavier boat. If, over time, enough of these E's emerged, a sub-class (no value-judgement intended) might organize. I believe Alerion Express owners have started a class with very few boats. Am anxious to receive feed-back re: the above crazy-talk. Cheers, Harvey 925-943-1707
