Thanksgiving Day in the USA is huge. Oddly, many 'Merkens seem to think it's an international day of celebration rather than the domestic holiday which it is. Being one to immerse myself in foreign...

Just trying to get a picture of the sail aspect ratio. I had it in my mind that it was a 35'er and the sail measurements seemed tiny for such a craft. The Tasman is a pretty boat and carries its...
