Hi all, it's been a long time since I added anything to this forum. I added a few new pictures to my Photo page, so if anyone is interested here is the link to the page. I don't have any pictures under sail and it maybe next year before I am able to take some.

The boat sails quite well and is very responsive.
The launching went very well. I had few adjustments to make that were very minor. The only real issue I have with the boat is when I retract the swing keel. I have a binding issue which will not allow the keel to retract fully. I will begin to resolve this issue when the weather goes south for the winter. In other words shortly! When I pull the boat on to the trailer, the slides right up into the keel box.
If there are any questions, I will do my best to answer.

Sitting on water she looks a lot bigger than I imagined. She looks powerful, too. Can't wait to see her under sail. Congratulations.
