Ticking the boxes

Hello again,
We’ve had a busy few weeks. We sailed for 5 days testing the rig and getting it tuned. We also tested out the various other systems on the boat. All checked out well. We then had 5 days to work on the boat and shorten the work list. We started at about 4 pages and now it’s down to just a little over page. Hap arrived Friday and we started sailing again. Most of the crew is here now and we are looking at all our possible sail combos. And there are lots of combos possible!
We have removed quite a bit of hardware in winches and hydraulics so we have been sorting out how to get the same jobs done with less. All this has been in an effort to get weight off the boat. We will sail again tomorrow in San Diego before heading up to Long Beach on Tuesday.
