Suppose if I can't get the new boat finished I could paint the wooden platform that I have in the backyard with some house paint to protect the wood for the weekend, put the rig on her and sail her. The wood's still good but the paint's had it. The dog might be annoyed that I've taken her kennel though. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hope it doesn't come to this but it might be a plan B.
