Faster...THAT IS TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLL
Congratulations.!!!!!

Now a Pops huh??? You old AFOC you!!!!

Now...lets be serious.

I see the baby's boat has no backstay, nor forestay, I would suggest a fractional rig, and lose the wood, too heavy. Carbon fiber...after all its a baby of the future....

Now, I think that quilt is too heavy, and I would lose the skid things. Hearts??? what's wrong with fish and rocks and buoeys???

Also, I think it need a spi pole would be a good thing.

Can you make me a bed (for me of course) like that??? I can writte the specs.

I like the idea you omited the rudder, he will be a better sailor without it any way!!!

Felicidades do fundo do coração para a nova adição á tua familia.

(means best wishes from the bottom of my heart to this family addition)

Dammit, Giu.... now I'm gonna go home, throw that thing into the fireplace and start over!!! (NOT)

Giu built one for his kids too but it had a 10' draft and a bulb keel and Mrs. Giu threw the damn thing out!! (g)
Nice job Fast!!

Great looking, very nice work. I also noticed the Seagull guitar in the background. My son plays one just like it. One of mine is an Art & Lutherie from back when they made the Cherry and satin cedar top model.

Too true - this baby's father was in a cradle just a few weeks ago himself.... so it feels like anyhow....

btw - she was born Nov 24, 6lbs 15 oz. She went sailing in a local "hot rum" race one week later! Here she is putting in her first watch in her own boat!

Faster, CONGRATULATIONS! What a cute kid, and clearly enjoying her cradle. She has it all reefed down snuggly, hove-to as it were for a nap.

I'll have to keep my wife away from this photo, or she'll begin to look at me all googley eyes....

Congrats Faster... cute kid.. Of course, the cuteness of babies is a survival mechanism..so you won't want to throttle them after the spit up on your clean shirt five seconds before you're supposed to leave for work...
