She was a beautiful heavy weather boat. We’d be heading out when others were heading for shelter. She had a PHRF in the 4.9 range as I recall. We often trolled for salmon under head sail alone, heading up when a 20+ lb’er would take the line.
That’s funny. We’d drag a line over to Catalina sometimes. Never caught anything but Barracuda.
I’m on the Puget Sound these days. It’s all Salmon and Crab now.
