It's been a while, updates are coming; in the meantime here is the CHARDONNAY peacefully at anchor in Breton Bay last fall. See you all at the SSCA Gam in Annapolis this September!
The CHARDONNAY rigged and ready to sail south to Rockhold Creek Marina for her final fitting out. A late winter snow storm held up up for a couple of days!
Freddi sailing her south a few days later.... we'll be at Rockhold Creek till March 10th or so, then back to CYC
The SAILS are up!
Just before the winds blew in yesterday Glenn Housley (sailmaker) and Scott put up the main! We got the jibs bent on on Tuesday so we're almost ready to head home.
The grape cluster logo, a gift from my parents, looks great! It's 3'x5' for reference.
Here's Glenn lashing the tack...
The mainsail...
Logo <we like it!>
The MASTS are IN!!!!
Chesapeake Rigging and Bert Jabins Yacht Yard did a wonderful job with cranes et al as we stepped both the main and the mizzen. Here she is with the stepped masts... looks pretty good and the sails go on as soon as the weather clears. I posted more at my gallery site.
