Re: His - 'n'- Her Schooer

Just goes to show, Sue, that practical experience (yours) is better
than idle speculation (mine).

I wouldn't. Four hands -- or, more accurately, a crew member in fhe
bow cockpit with an extra set of cleats for the jib and possibly
foresail cleats -- would come in handy if I were trying to race her,
but I had no trouble handling _Shrike_ this week. I do need to
install the tiller comb, which I haven't had time to yet, and I'm
seriously considering rigging the main and foresail sheets for a 2:1
purchase.

This might have been reported before, but here goes. At:

http://www.sailboatlistings.com/view/2021

there are details of a Bolger His -'n'- Her Schooer for sail.

It's billed as a singlehanded boat. I'd reckon you'd want at least
four hands.
