Havent posted much as of late. Looks like everyone on the board is doing well. Triska has been on the hard for the winter and we have been busy repairing blisters, adding zincs and generaly puttering about. Our new slip will be just a few spaces down from the old slip. Just across from Noeta (Dougs boat). Hope to see some of you on the water this year. Looking forward to a good season.

Isn't this kind of early in your area Doug? I'm just jealous!

I am shooting for the end of March.

And, up here, maybe the end of April.

Docks don't even go in until the ice is out, and the water is soft. Work party is scheduled for the middle of April.

Not early at all. I'm in the water all year most years. Santa sail, winter boat parades etc. Winter sailing here can make things very interesting. Yep it gets cold and nasty but how else can you have a frost bite regata.

I believe an Alberg 29 qualifies.

Doug&Ruth, You must have spent the entire winter polishing that hull, I needed my sunglasses to look at the photo.

Hi Doug,
Nice looking Bottom.

I’m in the middle of repairing blisters and doing the bottom on my boat. Sure would like mine to look as nice as yours. Could you tell me what products you used? Also did you put on an epoxy barrier coat?

Lovely vessel... kind on the eyes and I'd guess sea-kindly too. (IMHO) As a general observation, boats that "look right" seem to work well in the water too. There must be some sort of natural relationship between boat and water that also strikes a chord in the human mind.

Put simply, she's simply "right".

She is Yar at that. I do however miss my C-25. Such a well designed boat with simple systems. Easy to just hop aboard and set sail. Hope to see some of you this year as you visit the Puget Sound and San Juan Islands. I will also be trying to make the nationals in Portland. To bad Triska is to big to trailer and there is no way Im going to do the Columbia river bar.
