My Distraction

Here's my other Boat, a Ross 780. This Boat is frekin' cool. Around the same speed as a J24 but 5'6" headroom (okay for me to camp at 6'5" tall). Lifting keel and rudder we can beach the boat and sail in about 3' of water. Big main (31'luff x 13' foot) and self tacking jib. I'm adding a spinnaker launcher and with the self tacker you don't have to take the pole down in a rush. Great for racing, fun for cruising.

When I got her, there was damage to the keel trunk and the transom was J24ish (full seats and a thin transom. We cut out the transom, fixed the keel trunk, and painted her.
