Got one!

[Jason Fitschen]

Thanks to the wonderful Roberts clan in Olympia, I'm the ecstatic new owner of hull# 171. They were sad to see it go.  The boat is in great shape and will be sailing out of the Port Madison Yacht Club on Bainbridge Island, WA. I'm at the steep end of the learning curve for sailing a boat like this, and reading this forum over the past year has given me a lot of comfort that it will not always be a solo endeavor. I look forward to meeting any of you that make it up here and with that, my first two humble queries:  1) Are there any covers out there for sale? Used is ok in good condition or even a referral to anyone willing to make one.   2) Thinking about a Torqeedo motor. Any experience with this? Good bracket arrangement? Is the Travel 603S (2hp-ish) enough or is the Travel 1103C (3hp-ish) a better choice? Thoughts? Alternatives? Thanks much for anything useful. Jason

I got a lift cover made by Harken when I bought my boat new.
