For the past several years I have sailed on 41ft boat called Coug which is now retired.
I have decided to go in (1/5th owner) on its replacement:

ACE has a PHRF of 42. The MUMM 36 is a modern boat for being 20 years old. She is unbeatable upwind, and will do 18 knots of boat speed downwind in heavy air under spinnaker.
She has a brand new set of sails including heavy #1, light #1, main, and reaching spinnaker.
She will be kept at National Yacht Club.
We plan on racing her in IRC regattas on the lake and the Whitby 50.
Next year we plan to do the Chicago Mackinac.
Let the fun begin, as she is being trucked up from Maryland on Wednesday.
