Rigged up and ready to roll!

Rudder is pinned in position for travelling. My solution for a mast crutch is permanently welded to the stern pulpit. Weight of the keel is resting on a roller.

About a week after painting the hull. Two coats of one part polyurethane enamel applied with a brush and roller (picked out a few dead bugs) I was very happy with the final result.

Still have to add some trim and name tags, but it's more fun in the water. Fishing and sailing on four different lakes on a regular basis.

Here's my original pic taken with a video cam. An old videoblaster was used to grab a frame.

Latitude and Longitude - here's a little story about those numbers. Years ago I attempted to learn the fine art of navigation. The instructor mentioned that if, when on the water, one got lost in the fog, one could go ashore and look at the nearest utility pole. You've all seen those little metal tags on utility poles, well, the numbers on those tags tell the utility company where the pole is. So, if you're ever lost in the fog, hug your nearest utility pole and you'll know precisely where you are. I happen to be sitting about 10 meters from those particular numbers.
I love sailing and anything to do with boats. Unfortunately, we have a short
season around here, so I do a lot of armchair and internet sailing.
