David - good luck on weathering Gustav. Stay safe, hope to see you at the NAs safe and sound with ZV2 floating at home.

ZV2 does look beautiful! Wow. I'm blown away.

I've been stealthy following the various refit stories for the past year; all the while green with jealousy. I've finally managed to warm my boss (wife) to the possibility of doing a similar refit to Joust (hull #42). I've gotten some quotes in the Annapolis area and, while not entirely surprised at the numbers, it's made my job of convicing the boss to spend so much money much more difficult.

Anyway, I hope ZV2 comes through unscathed. It would be ashame if she took any damage.

Looks like she made it! The boat yard owner just called me and he can't see a single scratch.

Here is the weather information. Winds only 70 MPH, water 5 feet above normal. With the 60 feet of scope used to secure her, I think we could have gone as high a 10 feet.
