What a great boat to sail!! even with a little breeze, I was doing 6mph by GPS. The boat sails GREAT!!!! No weather or lee helm. Great day!! I still have a leaky rudder thru-hull, and I think I'm just going to fiberglass the hole with the thru-hull in place and go from there.
I had a little accident, the current drag me towards a brigde with a dead outboard, a powerboater saved my ass by pulling me back to the open water, the damage? My pride and I will replace the forestay (got in contact with the brige) other than that, this boat is a tank!! I love it.

the girl, yeah she was having a good time. the boy in the other hand... I think he is too little to go sail (3 years old)
everything went according to plan, except the encounter with the bridge, it was a close one, but I learned my lesson, no sails nor motor, drop the anchor!!!!!
I'll try to go out again this weekend.
