Bragging on my baby. We've had her 33 years this fall, part of that time co-owned with my brother.



The bottom is VC Offshore epoxy.

Lovely! My wife and I almost bought one in Michigan in about 1971. Around here, if you use a cool font like that for your registration numbers, the USCG might write you up. Standard WM-issue block font only. (The CG Academy is just a few miles away--things are by the book! )

Pretty Funny...

Lovely boat. What a great project. Reminds me of the Flying Dutchman of previous generations. I try to get to the Thistle ( old Goat ) regatta on Lake Lanier as these are often well kept boats.

Very Pretty boat David. I have fond memories of the 22 as well. Between 1983 and 1985 I logged 1000 miles doing the Intercoastal Waterway between Daytona Beach and Key Largo on one called "Contention".

Dave B.,
I checked on the font before buying it, because someone had told me block letters only. In Tennessee, block letters are recommended, but not required.

Thanks Ray and Dave R. She is fun to sail and is fairly fast, if the skipper doesn't screw it up. LOL

Dave, congrats on 33 years. I bet you have the record for any Cat 25! I bet she could do another 33. If only our cars held up that long. For that matter, anything we owned...
