Found it. It was nice talking to you out on the sandbar the other day. I really liked the boat.

I love marsh sailing! Nothing like scooting along in a light breeze. Very nicely done.

Can you tell me if you have any ballast and what is your sail size? Awsome boat. Love NH sharpie.

vgaulin The boat weighted about 1200 lbs before rigging. I have about 700 lbs oflead plate and lead bricks. The boat is about one ton. The sail is about 160 sq ft.

a fine outing in a outstanding sailboat. only way to make it better is to turn the electronic leash off.

Wow! more videos of Jayne Ellen please!
Are there there any pictures you can point me to?
I bet a 27' Sharpie is a blast to sail.
