  1. Thank you for the wealth of information on sailing issues in general and on Dragonfly in particular!

    Could we pry into your privacy and ask why Strider was sold? The previous blogs did nothing but shine with owners joy.

    1. While I really enjoyed Strider, particularly being able to sail her while others were motoring and having all the exterior space, she was just a little too...snug(?) for comfort.
      I'm 6'2" and there was only 1 spot inside where I could stand comfortably: at the galley sink with my head out the companionway! Too many head bonks and moving hunched over.
      More importantly though was a health problem and we were not using her as we'd have liked. No sense in letting her rot on a dock!
