So, I've decided to continue acquiring parts for the boat over the summer, do design work over the summer and do the build over the winter (hulls and platform).

I spent 2 days training on F18's down at the Sarasota Sailing Squadron and had the realization that I need time on the water and lots of it, the next generation of high school kids is working there way up to kick some serious butt. I would ideally purchase a boat to drive for the summer but finances are always tight so I'd be more than happy to crew for someone in the Annapolis area (F16/N20)...would be good practice for F16 Nationals in September.
