Thanks for the response! I guess there are other V's in the boating world. I am on the "left" coast. The boat is in the SF bay delta right now. I actually live in Quincy,CA(Northern Sierra's), but I will leave the V25 in the SF bay for this next season and get to know her in some of the substancial wind the SF bay offers. I still have to find a trailer to get her down to that beautiful Sea of Cortez. Regards to all! Greg Gruner
