About 2 weeks ago the ice came off the lake, the bottom paint went on and this weekend we got her in the water :D We were the 2nd boat in by about 30 minutes but the first boat to actully go out and sail :)

First race is May 20th!! Got the rigging tuned not to bad, boat felt like it handled the same as last year. Need to borrow a loose gauge though.
I wish the VC17 would keep the copper color, I think it looks pretty good.







After a bit of cleanup the inside isn't to bad... Apparently it's the biggest V berth you will ever find on a 25 foot. :rolleyes:


Only problem I had was changing the Jib halyard, the main went like a charm, the jib got stuck and the two ropes came apart! :mad: Soooo I guess since im the light weight I get to go up the mast and fish the new halyard down...

I think you need to pull your boat out of the water and re-wax it... the topsides aren't shiny enough... ;) Looks good.
