Guys, I am so sad that i will not be making Bay Week this year. i have plans to be in the North Channel then. The plans were made before i even bought #484. But Next year I WILL BE THERE!
Brett, Good Luck with your launch. Happy sailing. You're in for a treat. Fun, responsive, turns on a dime and gives change. I'm lovin it!

Hey Guys -

Great news. Boat launched Friday, its floats, sails go up and come down.

Bad News we raced it Saturday and blew out the main (32 year dacron met its match). Unless anyone has a super cheap main for sale I will not be making Bay Week.

Brett, I have my old Dacron main in the attic. It's 25 years old but hasn't been on the boat since 1997. It's actually in pretty good condition though probalby pretty blown out shape wise. You can borrow it for the season - no charge so long as you promise to give it back
I also have a 5 year old string main that you can borrow for bay week.
Let me know your thoughts
