It won't be long now until you just start putting MOGAS in both tanks.
After a while, it won't hurt at all.

Only a sailor would do something that looks like that.

That was my thought exactly. I suppose downriggers will be next.

My experience with those clam cleats is that they will eventually jam solid. I called them jam cleats and replaced them all with cam cleats like the small Ronstan ones which are available from places like www.apsltd.com.
Um, I did this on my F-27 Corsair trimaran back when I had it. And yes, it went into the wind quite nicely. We might not have been gentlemen, but the beer was cold and the girls were pretty and the boat was fast.
