Judy B made me a very light Genoa (6 oz) that's pretty close to a code zero. Not for use in winds on 25+ knots. I also use a UV sock rather than sewn-in UV protection.

Are there any 60+ HP outboards that allow for manual pull starting?

One of the reasons I haven't explored an upgrade is because that's as big as it gets and still allow for manual pull starting if necessary. I am an old sailor, not a bold sailor.

Thank you. I thought I was the only one.

Hey Me Three? Along With your down haul , do you use lazy jacks to assist when solo. I’m trying to determine if it’s useful.

Ditto March :P I use Sailkote slug lubricant. Spray it in the groove at the beginning of each season. Works pretty well. With your mast down, you might want to double-check the groove itself and see if it's not kinked. Take a slug and slide it through, from one end to the other. Slugs come in differ...

I can't speak to the details (I don't have a 26D) - but I am jealous.

Be sure it has a white hull. Faster than blue hulls.
