Thanks Cindy. The responses have been very helpful. As to rigging,
the boat was de-rigged by Driscoll's in San Diego and re-rigged by
West Shore Marine in Racine (ironically they had the boat for almost
15 years before she moved to SD!). She handles beautifully on all
points of sail and in various winds.
