We sold her! :(
"Little Gypsy", a Sovereign 7.0, and our first ever sailboat at anchor with her new owners. They picked a rough weather day to take delivery.

Hi! I've only just discovered your blog, so forgive me for the late response as you've already sold your Sov7, "Little Gypsy". I have a 1981 shallow-draft Sov7, currently named "Puffin", which I sail on Lake Conroe, Texas (just north of Houston, TX), to fluky lake winds. I've a couple of questions for you, if you don't mind. I will read through all your blog, but I'd be greatly helped by focusing on these queries. 1) My boat seems to have a great deal of difficulty tacking through 90 degrees...more like 110 to 120 degrees. Have you had similar problems, and if so, have you solved this in any way I might find useful? 2) I occasionally race, and find I come in dead last, even with PHRF handicapping applied. Have you found any way to increase boat speed? I know you purchased newer sails at some point in Little Gypsy's life -- my main is somewhat tired, but the jib and 150 genoa are nearly new. Any tips for either of these questions? THANKS!!
