I am thinking about putting in a wood burning stove on Morning Star. Anyone with any experience on your own Pilot with one? I think some originally came with one and maybe others were installed years…Continue

Water Tanks
Does anyone know the capacity of each water tank on our Pilots? I know the combined capacity (70 gallons) but not how much the main tank holds and how much the forward tank holds. Thanks!Jay EmmonsContinue

"Saw you in Biddeford Pool Tuesday night. Looks great! My name is Jay Emmons, I live in BP and I own Morning Star which was a few boats away from you. Bought her about 20 years ago and love sailing her! "
"Our luff is padded and the shape is not to bad but not perfect especially up wind. I don’t really know what kinda sail cut I would go with. That would depend on the type of sailing you would be doing. Racing vs cruising. "
"Thanks Ryan. I've been doing the same but the sail shape is pretty inefficient as I roll it up that much. But it's less money than a new jib! Would you look for a tri radial in a new genny?"
"We have a 135 Genoa and find that reefing it down to a 110 when the wind is 15+knots we don’t lose any speed up wind. The boat sails flatter and faster with less weather helm. I would like to eventually get a 110 Genoa made for our…"
100% Jib
I mostly single hand my Pilot though being the good sport that she is, my wife will occasionally sail with me on shorter 2 or 3 day cruises. Since I bought Morning Star 20 years ago, she has had a 135% genny which has been wonderful. Now that I’m getting older I’m wondering how folks feel about having a smaller jib like a 100% or 110%? I know I will give up some speed with wind below say 12 knots but from 15 knots and above I don’t think I’d give up too much speed and she’d be easier to handle…See More
