| Cape Horn 81 performance
Well, thanks to your advice everyone I bought a Cape Horn. (You'll be more careful with advice in future - HA HA). Our first voyage on her involved some unpleasant, heavyish seas, and wind 90deg to the sea. I can say that she performed magnificently, with no hint of pitching, dry decks, and while of course she rolled (the stablisers were U/S awaiting a new board) it wasnt excessive at all. You can feel her weight (steel superstructure 'n all) but it isn't a problem.
Yes the 'rollover column' is in the pilothouse; may we never need it!
When we get the stablisers workingproperly, I'll report back on bilge keels+stabliser performance.
cheers
