Launched for the Season!

Seems like a long time happening, the spring was unusually warm and dry it felt like the boat should have been in the water a month ago.  The crane in happened at the Bayside Wharf just outside of St. Andrews, everything went smooth for all.  She's in, afloat, rigged and on her mooring in front of the town of St. Andrews.  Everything work as expected as we motored for an hour and a half down the St. Croix River in the company of her sister ship Zoom.  Let the sailing summer begin!

Spring Prep Work Underway

Spring prelaunch work is well under way...doesn't look like it from the outside, but the inside is taking shape well.  Launch date is set for 28th-May.  The hull needs to be cleaned & waxed and the bottom paint applied.  Everything else seems pretty much ready.  Next post will be on launch day.
