CFS - Sunny and warm....finally....
Wow, all, I just realized that it has been quite some tiime since I updated this blog!!
Last year, we updated everything on the boat, investing heavily in her. New rig, newly rebuilt engine and transmission, new sails, and more....then sailed her the rest of the short season that was left.
In October, 2012, Good Old Boat Magazine asked to do a feature boat spread on her, so they came put during the Annapolis Boat Show, and took about 1000 still images, and several videos...one of the stills, my favorite, is the new face of this blog.... The issue is now out on the book store stands, March/April edition....its a well done article... One of the photos here on this post....winds 18-20, gusts to 25 the day of the shoot...so you may notice we are reefed down....
Just a few weeks ago, rebuilt the house battery system, added another 520 A/H of batteries, finished soda blasting the bottom, new barrier coat, and new paint. Splashed her a week ago...finally.
Planning on bending on the new sails this weekend, and getting ready for the DelMarVA Rally in June.
She truly is ready for her world tour now! More later....
