Pearson 365 and 367

Hi There !

My 1979 365 Sloop has a Max Prop (THANKS to the Previous Owner)
Sailed Friday  upwind in 4-6 knts indicated windspeed at 1.45 to 2.10 gps and knotmeter
so tide was slack / not an issue.

Granted - I had JUST cleaned the prop  and brushed the back half of the boat - 12 year old sails - standard
roller furling 130 genoa.

Downwind - furled my head sail - flew my baby spinaker ($200 from the internet buy -  fits a 30' racing boat
so was a nice small size for me to fly single handed on my boat) 1.5 knots dead down wind with
apparent wind of 1.5 knots - I was THRILLED with this performance - it was an awesome Friday afternoon.

Washed her inside and out!
Worked out a Fresh Water Flush System for the new Suzuki 4HP Dinghy Motor.
.... (aka a bucket of water tied up from the bottom -- worked great!...)
Preparing to "Camp Out" this weekend with the Grand Kids!
Finished rigging the topping lift for the (original) spinnaker pole.

Enjoyed the awesome weather here on Upper Gulf Coast of Florida

Hi There - In June 2015 We purchased SV Perseverance / Pearson 365 Sloop Hull # 260
Perseverance now resides in Valparaiso, FL

Thanks for the update
