Today was a big day for the team. A little before 4 pm, with all the yard, Hap and his boys watching, the boat hit the water. It was been quite a bit of work to get to this point and everyone is very happy to see her floating nicely at the dock. Tomorrow we will keep working on the boat and rig. The rig is scheduled to go in the boat early Wednesday morning. A very large thanks goes to Pirate, Rob O, Thomas, Ryan, JV, and Kyle who have been putting in some very long hours over the last several months in order to get to this point. The rest of the team will arrive thursday and we have lots of projects to complete before we can go sailing. Wednesday will be a stressful day with the rig going in. This will be the first time the boat sees any serious loads. All ears will be listening to all the little creaks and groans.
