[quote=mikeguestuser]Brad - SUPER jealous you have a Stiletto!  That would be close to the ultimate, I think.  I do have a forestay but no jib.  With 160sf in the main alone, I am pretty sure I will not need a jib sailing solo.

I don't know if it will be hard to right, I just want to make really sure it doesn't turtle.  The res I sail on is definitely shallow in spots.  I did turtle a Day Sailer some years ago and the mast stuck in the mud.  We needed a power boat to pull us over.

Mast sealing - heard.  That makes tons of sense.  I might see about a noodle setup just for extra peace of mind, and forego spending money on a fancier solution.

The Speedpuk looks perfect - except it's $339!!  That's more than 1/2 what I paid for the boat.

Garmins - same problem.  I have a dedicated GPS in my car I paid $60 for.  Looking for something cheap!  And I really only want speed.  I am not going to race seriously, so not concerned with any other functions.

Thanks for the advice and thoughts![/quote]
