We've lost the owners of 2 of the most famous SJ21's on the internet in the last year. First "Shatzie" and now "Limpet." Seriously, Good Luck down under and find Limpet a deserving new owner.

Great stuff, Oh how we are able to laugh at the wind's fickle direction changes. There are more varaibles in a sailboat race than in chess, more blood too, that's why we have scuppers. I need a hand, I've noticed this: www.limpetracing.com/how-not-to...a-vanguard-nomad/25 and can't get it off of the web. If you can, I'd love to read the peice, I'm buying a Nomad! Thanks in advance, Ken Hi,

You always had a way with words. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe you have come a long way from your lyric writing days of "We are Spanaway, were gonna run away, with your pride, you'll try to hide, we won't' let you, we won't forget you, were bad". Good luck with you racing endeavors! Jason Orchard Hey Andy,

I have a SJ21 MKII which I have sailed and raced for about 15 years now. I was highly amaused to see another SJ21 owner with the same last name as myself. There are not that many Caples around and here are 2 that own a SJ21. Anyway I like to sail/ race more than fix, but after racing in 30+ MPH winds (hey I live in Oklahoma) and rolling the boat over 90 degrees in a sustained gust in the 37-39 MPH range (first time I have ever broached going upwind) I realized it may be time to recore the deck and rearrange the winches for cross sheeting like a J-22. The jib track was pulled up about 3/4 inch off the deck in the middle of the track; jib sheet was pulling so hard the jib track bolt/ washers/ nuts under the deck pulled right thru the balsa core and stopped at the fiberglass skin. This boat has been in some blows but always come thru, i just get a kick out of my little SJ21. I have put off repairs for several years but now its time to recore the deck and restore the boat.

The Doyle loft I've been talking with in Florida quoted $1200 for just the main, another $700-900 for the Genoa depending on the material. I'm wondering what the differences are?
