I think she's a cool boat too! She is still ours and lives at Elliott Bay - we're racing this weekend Center Sound Series. If you happen by I'd be more than happy to show you around and contribute to your beer fueled mayhem!
Koster Islands - part of the Kosterhavets National Park in the northwestern Swedish archipelago just south of the border with Norway. Shallow (5m), rocky and rocky/muddy anchorages are typical - holding is very good.

Lifetime warranty on the frames and lenses. Break an old pair that's now discontinued? Send them in and for $30 choose a pair of new models. Nice folks too.

In case you get cold feet about Hornet, a name I used in a few regattas with my Melges 20 might be a good fit: Lift Ticket
Seemed to fit when it would get up and plane

Yes, at the boat show they talked about being part of Sabre as soon as I said we had a sailboat - I don't think I've ever sailed on a Sabre, but they do have a good reputation.
I think the boat show boat is supposed to be in town for a bit, so next weekend I think we'll see if we can get out on...
Saw a very interesting boat at our last Boat Show - it's a <shudder> power boat, but Mrs WWing was really taken by it. Spent quite a bit of time on the boat and talking to the broker - lots of good ideas built into the design, and in the end I think it's a boat that I would also enjoy...
