Boat looks very nice What lake did you have it on?
Went to the link but it was a kids musical, or at least they call it music. I did not bother to turn the sound on.

Hi,
Love your finished boat and yes a picture of the sailing would be nice.
I learned something from your slip attachments which I can change on mine. You use very big hand wheels on the threaded bars where the wooden poles are held together while I battled with a spanner and a normal nut always thinking I will loose the spanner first time I am with it near the water.
Greetings from Karl

Nice boat! That looks like a peaceful way to spend the day.

Finally fixed a couple spots where the graphite on the skeg had been gouged into the fiberglass last year. Watching the kids today while my wife is off doing teacher training, had hoped to take them out in the boat even though it is overcast, but there's no wind at all. 8^( It's actually showing zero mph out at the airport near the lake....
