Hello All,
Thanks to all the pics and tips on the topic of mast/sail on a Uni. It helps me tons,...so thanks to all.
Just a note, Puerto Rico is apart of the United States of America. In fact, the U.S. suggested they become the 51st state.
Right now, Puerto Rico is classified as a' Commonwealth' , as a result of the 1903 Spanish-America War.
And the US Virgin Islands as a 'Territory' , which was purchased from Denmark in 1917.
We have all the benefits of the US, are citizens, pay most taxes, but cannot vote in a national election.
Being an area rich in sailing history, plus a favorite hang out for Pirates ( of old, of course)...we gladly say
Go PUERTO RICO! Let the Caribbean Team rule!
(...we need to send some trade-wind weather up there for the boys )
regards,
Bruce
