Ready to Splash!

Well the boat is finally ready to splash today!






(Look at that fit stern; not as fat as some others around here!)

Max-on-

I see a couple of spots you missed and need to go back and re-wax.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

TB, the hull was always blue; however, there were many negative comments regarding the red bottom paint.

SD, I am trying something different than wax on the hull this year, which I will report on later.

I shouldn't talk, last boat was a double-ender. They're great in following seas, but have tighter cockpits.

Looks great max - best wishes for an uneventful launch and many opportunities for sailing this season.

Sd, That's because I regularly go both ways.
TB, Yeah, getting around the wheel is a bit tough.
