Here is one I took at anchor, I swam out with the camera (not waterproof by the way)and took it from water view.

October racing
Here we are in our third race (October)
The fourth race, I blew it literally.
Gale warnings cancelled the 'official' race, but a few of us decided to go out and race anyway.
A gust blew out the Jib, don't think there is enough sail tape to put this one back together!
More Jib Carnage
Peek A Boo.
Monkey on a rope!
Here is a monkey aloft.
After the pro-furl carrage refused to slide down the extrusion, I had to be winched up.
Man oh Man it looks much higher when you are up there swinging in the breeze!
I shot of the rig
Calmer days
Here is a shot I took running, heading out to spend a night on the hook.
Verrrry nice! Shots like these keep me motivated. Pro Furl tooI notice you have an Ariel logo on the sail with an unusually large sail number. what gives? Tony G
probably the cost of the refit.
If so, as suggested by capt'n Ebb, maybe mine will be less! I gotta go sailing!
So, stupid question, but what does the # mean, if anything? And is this sail going on 40 yrs. too? wow! maybe it IS time for a new one!

Tony,
Thanks for the kind words,
as for your question
I have no idea, they came with the boat. The numbers are a mystery to me, I do like the Ariel logo though. I don't plan to have a number put on my new sails (I am looking at changing both).I notice you have an Ariel logo on the sail with an unusually large sail number. what gives?
I guess some clubs require the numbers, ours does not (Ragged Point Yacht Club).
As for the Pro-furl, I was not very happy with it when I had to go aloft to get the traveler to slide down the extrusion, but I learned that there is a allen key that sets the tension on the slide bushing, and it had somehow become overtight on mine and was preventing free movement.
The sail number appears to be an IOR or other off shore racing number required to compete in those events.
In addition to the extra storage space found under the bottom step I have added drawers to the top step.
The drawers are original Pearson, they were the drawers from the starboard side (from #338, Thanks Ebb!).
Here they are;
The trim on top is the front for the galley, and the new trim for the Nav station.
