Sail arrived

The sail arrived. Was a nice day today so I rigged the sail for the first time.

I'm choosing to lace the sail to the mast. At least for the first few times out.

Winter is coming...

I'm waiting on a sail and a trailer.  It is going down to 31 tonight - so time for winter storage. The boat wont see water until 2016. I'm already excited about next spring.


Ryan came home from practice while I was experimenting with the rigging. He hopped in. I learned that I'll probably need to add a tiller extension. I've got all winter to decide whether to buy one or make one.

Rudder assembly mounted. This is one of the areas that I deviated from the plans. I elected to use pintles and gudgeons instead of eyebolts and rod.

Experimenting with the rigging.


























If we get a warm spell after the sail arrives, I'll rig it up. If not I'll be back in the spring.
