Wow- thanks for all the nice comments about the boat. It turned out to be a much larger project than I anticipated (as usual), you'd think I would have learned after all these years. For the most part it was pretty enjoyable and there are worse things than knowing practically every nut and bolt in the boat. So far I am pretty impressed with how she sails, I have a couple of issues with
rigging that I need to figure out.
I hope you all (in the US) have a great holiday, and thanks again for the compliments and good wishes.
