Looks great Ray, So that's one project you don't have to think about anymore. Be another month before I'm in the water.

<< Be another month before I'm in the water. >>

Thank you Scott.. and I'm sure the month will go fast, with all the spring projects you probably have. I try to enjoy the spring while I can, the summer gets so hot ( and our lake full of powerboats and their wakes ) that June, July, and August are often windless on my inland lake.

It was just so much fun yesterday setting the little jib in tight, tightening the topping lift to open the mainsail and setting the tiller tamer. Then I'd let out the mainsheet until the boat would hold its bearing. Self steering. If it fell off the wind in the main would bring it back up and if it turned up the main would luff and the jib would bring it back down. I really like the new, larger wind chicken...

It's unusual for us to have a strong steady warm breeze from the South. Usually we sail on fronts moving in blustery from the WNW clocking to the NNE.
