My wife took this photo from the top of the mast on our friend's C&C 30.

Now....THAT'S what I'm talking about for the Photo Section!

I have yet to be able to get a photo of THIRD DAY under sail, but this is a good one!

So, now I have a few question.

1) how do you like your mizzen mounted WindGen? I am thinking about adding a KISS to my mizzen, so how do you like it?

2) what are the blue and red colors near the top of the Main and Mizzen sails?

3) is that a full batten Missen sail? If so how do you like it?

We love our Amp Air 100 wind generator mounted on the mizzen. We live life on the hook most of the time, so this guy keeps us charged all the time. One of the best additions we have installed to date.The red, white and blue flag's are pendants from a few races we have won(our home is a fast passage maker!)If you look closely you will count eight crew in our cockpit,welcome to our neighborhood. This shot was taken at the start of an over night race(we won! AARGH!!!) The Battle flag is my own design, we call it the Boney Mae, our boat is called SIRENA which means "the Mermaid"so it made sense to me...so did the bottle of rum I used for inspiration, to use a mermaid skeleton holding a torn heart(depending on what project I am working on the boat) Glad you liked the shots.

sorry...yes it is full batten and yes it's the best system so far.

So the question is then do you ever fly a Mizzen staysail? and if so does it cause problems with the location of the Wind Gen? That was my only concern, but it may be a stupid concern because I have never flown my mizzen staysail or mizzen spinny that came with the boat...so I may be worring about NOTHING. I really like getting the wind gen out of the way...and your configuration is probabally what I will go with before we cast off Cruising!

Thanks again for the Great Photos and info!

We can spin and lock our wind machine in place so it doesnt bother other sail configurations.it works pretty cool.
