What a bonus! So, can anyone confirm the “sailed to Hawaii” legend? When was that? What hull? Again, I have yet to hear from another owner here. Still, I seem to be gaining some notoriety for my “roadside redoo.” At least a few know what they drive by. It’s good for business! FYI, this wood-boat builder is looking forward to enjoying a fiberglass boat like never before, on our perfect playground; Kaneohe Bay, Windward Oahu. On that note, thanks for the input on C/B pennant access; I’m still wondering if it can be addressed by a shallow (warm) water dive at full drop? She should be off the trailer in another month or so; until then I’m looking at a short leash with a knot at unknown length. Also, the O/B discussion is invaluable; however, I’m favoring electric on the transom. Any thoughts? Also, great to hear from Canajian lake and Pacific sailors; I’m an Edmonton ex-pat and miss the wilds of C! Except the 40 below part! C or F thermumblter. I’ll be BAAAK! So, if anyone else would like to cross the pond, I can’t wait to race you. Kidding! Just a fun chat and cold beer. AloooHa!
