San Juan 21 Class Association

Hi Jim, We just bought a '76 MK 1 and put it in the water for a couple of days this week. We are also reworking the trailer and I was wondering about the pictures you mentioned. We are looking for ideas since the bunks we have now are not doing a proper job. How can we get these pictures? Our boat s...

I've been sailing one time but my first mate (boyfriend, roommate, SO) and instructor has been sailing 40 years and has a few One Design Championships under h...
