100' long, 158' tall, main sail area 5000 square feet!!!!!!
The JIB alone is 3500 square feet and the genoa 7000 square feet! I won't be allowed to use my wife's sewing machine to fix a seam on one of those!!!!
Apparently it's sailing around the San Juan's right now. You folks in Victorialand, I dunno, maybe it's too far across the strait but maybe you can catch a glimpse of it. At least easier than I will in landlocked Calgary!!!
