Last Hurrah?/ broken strings

I'm up for it. No racing though. I spent ten years racing, and I'm done with 
it. Cruising only. What body of water are you on? I'm on Lake Michigan out of 
Chicago. The boat is a 25 year old French built racer/cruiser 28' with a deep 
water keel. You can always tell the French boats: they have built-in wine 
racks. Who's sailing on what over there?

Actually, to keep the topic to pianos, it's no joke that you have to tune a 
boat. Also, think about the shape of a sail such as the main, and the points 
at which it is held, and the most desirable shapes for it in a wind; does it 
remind you of a soundboard? Battens (ribs) and all?
