Sea Trials - First Sail

First Sail!

It was a beautiful day. Sunny with 11mph winds. I only went out for an hour to test the rigging. Everything went very well. She sails great.

I need to change some cleat locations and add a tiller extension to make her more convenient to sail. The hardest part was actually securing the boat to the trailer. I'll also get a spar/sail bag for transport and storage.

As I was by myself, only 1 picture. I'll add more soon.

Trailer build and registration

Finally back to work after a long winter. I ordered a trailer from Harbor Freight. It took about 4 hours to unpack and assemble. Then another 4 hours to wire the trailer and the car.

In Michigan I needed to display 3" tall letters for registration. So now I'm legal. If I could do it over, I would have gotten a narrower font.  The height was dictated by state law.
