Thanks Bill and Phil for the pics. Been a full on few days. Postponed the Friday launch due to the forecast. Now planned for next Wednesday. Still a bit to be done before then, but all the big stuff done now. 8)

Thanks Phil for the awesome pics.

 

Well what a great day. Launched this am and Graeme and I had a few hours sailing to try everything out. She sails well (sails look great Bill) and is very nicely balanced, points well and tacks like a dinghy. Not a lot of wind most of the time but we managed to crack 9 kn with the sheets just sprung in what would only have been about 12 knots of breeze. I'm pretty damn stoked. Just a few things to finish off (like the wiring :-) and sort out some bird nets. Will post more updates as I get used to sailing her.

 

Many many thanks to all who have taken an interest and helped out in various ways. It would have been a lot harder without all the advice, support and input. Cheers :thumbup:
