Thom,
I am sending you an email so you can keep in touch.
After the Yahoo Catriowner group was founded I discovered more things that can go wrong. The main discovery, however, was that the designer never finishes his projects and does not guaranty anything. This is the main reason why I decided to survey, finish and test the boat in a more sophisticated environnemnt.
I hope you are right about sailing before the year end, but after four years who knows?
