I'm in a slip. Both for easy family boarding and for electrical hook-up. Jim / Bluffton did my main's repair and made the suggestion to make it loose footed (below). We're still in. Held out till the first week of November last year. Peek away. (Enter Torresen, head down the right side of the main slip-bay and we're halfway down. Look for the A/C and UGA burgees flappin!) Better yet, Sadie (my daughter) and I sail most good-sailing-weather Monday's and you are most welcome to join us.
Good fate for #198! - passed on to an owner who'd never bondo her.

Haven't had a chance to make it out that way yet!
Got wrapped up doing things around the house and haven't even had a chance to do much more than clean the boat up.
Did get around to making new end blocks for the coamings, turned out pretty well I'd say. Since I didn't have any materal large enough I had to glue them up, every place that had material large enough wanted to sell 5ft lengths or longer.

Thought of just making a 'flat' return to the cabin sides, but never realy cared for the looks of that.
Figured out how to make the curved front very easily, and they're almost an exact duplicate of the originals.
May not be in the water, and still needs paint, but the brightwork is nearly done!
