After assembling the mast carrier and building the rear mast support.
All the bits lashed and secured...
Good news! It seems to have made the initial run in one piece...

Riding in style
My Commander is till in the dry and I've had the itch to go sailing!
Notice that there was no-one else out in San Pablo bay on this day... you can see the whitecaps up the bay (North San francisco Bay) It was a great sail...
This is the only picture I have of C-155 sailing (that is not taken from onboard the boat, that is...)

A nice day to spend in Sausalito...
Picture #4
An iconic shot. What any boat on any trailer aspires to.
That IS a really nice set of boat wheels.
What a trailer ought to be.
Love the rollers up front.
Complements the cargo.
Every eye will turn to admire that rig! And aluminum too! Right?
That Commander of yours shows once and for all you don't need a swayback sheer to have a classy sailboat that is the quintessence of, that symbolizes, what a pure daysailer really is.
Commander is a joy to look at from any angle.
When you need an example of the word FAIR (as in fair maiden) to describe a boat's lines, this Alberg design is the embodiment.
Mephisto Cat looks stripped of all the glitz we have come to expect as salty and beautyful. Doesn't need any. This is as deft and fresh a sailboat form as ever devised.
How fantastic that it is a joy to sail as well!

Thanks EBB!
More pix to come soon... It has been a year since C-155 has been afloat.
I am happy to say that I am almost done with an esentially bare-fiberglass restoration and the Mephisto Cat will soon be back in the water. Sailing.
I'll be posting pictures of the process and some specs that hopefully will be useful to others.
The Mephisto Cat remains totally glitz free though. The highest tech elements of C-155 are still the original nav lights! (other than the outboard!)
Basic is beautiful!
- Where is my sextant and lead-line?!
Can't wait!
