[C38] New Owner w/Roller and prop question

[William Knowles]

Dan my wife and I have a 38 in Rock Hall where are you keeping the boat?
Maybe we can hook up sometime this summer.
I have a kiwi feathering and love it gain about a knot under sail, not sure
about the luff but put a furlex on two years ago works great.
