I may take it back out to Bob and have him do some additional work on it the boat, looks great. The only thing I have had done to it are a barrier coat and bottom paint applied. Have only had it in the water a few minutes to check the water line. Bob did take some pictures with the sails up in the parking lot, I'm not sure if they came out or if he has posted them to the Web. It will be a while before I go sailing and attempt any action shots for the Web site. We do plan on going to the San Juan's this summer with the boat. Hope to get in some good sailing then. Or maybe a short trip to southern California for a week or two for a shake down cruise. Fred
