Danny, 
You will love the boat as it has the pedigree to do what you describe. 

1. I have had a profurl for over 10 years and over 20,000 miles with no 
trouble.  You do need to go with the close to the deck configuration. 
2. Steve Smolinske really likes Island Planet sails and I personally 
know how fast his boat is!  But, are many sailmakers out there and we 
all seem to have preferences.  If money is short, shop Bacon Sails or 
Minney's for used sails.  Sometimes you get lucky! 
3. Now that I have a dodger and bimini.....  what the hell was I 
thinking all those years sailing without it?  I guess I just like 
rolling dice with melanoma?  Best way is to have one custom fitted.   
Make SURE you can see the sails, sea and other boats! 
4. The mast step fix is on our website. 
5.  Make sure the surveyor sounds your deck for voids and checks for 
moisture.  I would be surprised if there was none as we have a cored 
deck and cabin.  Unless things are real bad, this should not be a deal 
killer.  Just get it fixed. 
Have the surveyor look at your rigging, especially around turnbuckles. 

Best, 
Chuck Finn 
Commodore

All modern fulers are good go for the best price, had my mast step done 
(found cracks in sole) cut out sole and replaced step was like wet paper 
with epoxied wood did not redo sole hid hole with molding cut cost looks 
great. Got great price on jib from Roly Tasker (north american sails) go 
for tri radial.

Anyway, just trying to gather some info about things we'd need pretty quickly if the deal goes thru. 


1. New standing rigging and a roller fuler
