Launch Day has arrived
I took her to the lake today for sea trials. She now weighs 42 pounds and Bosun was there to help me lift her in the water, many thanks, must make a lifting strap.
She sails beautifully and the trimming done on the home paddle pool paid off. Here is the YouTube movie.

I rushed back to the car for the rescue Springer, and effected a mid-sea rescue, while Bosun photographed the event. Can you post the pictures please as I was busy maneuvering the rescue craft at the time.
A good day out and very satisfying to see your baby sail away.
