Barry If you are referring to the partners, I have done mine, and you can see a lot of posts about this. I have not had trouble with the mast step on my 1984 short rig 9.1 "Shooting Star", which I sail in the Hudson River and Western LIS. I do a lot of fiberglass work, so the partner issue is not that big a deal. I agree with you on the flyer and the J30 - another great advantage of the 9.1 is the balanced rudder. If you are steering a J30 on a heavy day your arm gets REALLY tired because the rudder is unbalanced, and the tiller loads are high. The 9.1 rudder is balanced, and the loads never get very heavy. Anyway, good luck on the boat search, and I hope to see another 9.1 in western LIS next year. Mike Bergmann |
