<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">do you ever use the tent? the white vinyl thing that weighs about a billion pounds and is impossible to re-fold before stowing.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
An aside for the "tent": 1. unsnap and unzip 2. fold sides to the middle over top 3. fold forward and aft tails over sides. 4. Standing on either of the side decks or one person forward and one aft,, simultaneously fold it in half (side to side) while pulling it from under the boom. 5. Roll it up from the cockpit while sliding it towards you. No creases in the windows and putting it on is the easy reversal.

Now, its great to welcome another new owner aboard.

Toomba, Where do you plan on sailing your boat near KC? The Perry yacht club is a really nice club and a good lake if you are on the west side of town. I grew up there and sailed all the local lakes, Stockton is also a great lake.. Have fun with your new machine!!!

Say, if you went to all that work of compiling a six page checklist, that could be quite helpful to many of us Association / Forum members! Perhaps you'd upload it in Technical Tips, or otherwise generously provide?? Thanks for considering! By the way, this forum is like live technical manual and 'How - to' book for C-25's...its the BEST!

We pulled the boat the last 50 miles out to Lake Perry, northwest of Kansas City, this weekend and we will be sailing it out of Perry Yacht Club (Sail Kansas!, as the tee-shirt says...). Spent the weekend cleaning, polishing and inventorying the boat and we will try and use the long holiday next weekend to get the bottom touched up, hull waxed, rigged and launched. I hope that the biggest problem that we will have is that the lake is about 10-feet high, so the launching ramps and docks are pretty well underwater.

I will be happy to upload the checklist to the Technical Forum (with all due credit to Don Casey's book). I will look into the uploading instructions. What format is best to upload? Pdf? Word? Cut and paste?
Thanks again for the help.
