    Smile My New Girl

    Just put down a deposit on a new boat. Have to wait about 6 months before she's built.

    Gonna be a blast.

    Can't decide on the color. Maybe a black hull, although the blue one looks sharp too.

    Melonseed Pete?

    Oh, my, god........

    The melonseed is without peer. A guy in my club sails one, and it is a vision on the bay. But here's the thing - a couple of years ago, at a decoy show in south Jersey, I bought my alltime favorite boat, a hand built cedar Barnegat Bay Sneakbox with sail kit. She has a 90 sg.ft spritsail and daggerboard, and has a round spoon shaped bow where the melonseed has the sharper line, otherwise they are very similar. You will LOVE the MS! The sprit is an amazing and ancient design, mannerly and powerful, and there is a melonseed club similar to the Association to swap stories with. Sometimes they stand on the stern counter and ride downwind standing tall! Solo sailing is easy and a blast, and you can even get them to heave- to to take a nap. Congrats on a good buy.....
