Today we packaged up the Main-sail and sent it off to
North Star kite & sail repair in San Diego, to get some
Reefing grommets & patches sewn into the third panel
from the bottom,(remaining aria about the size of a Hobie-16).

We Got a H-16 jib for when we reef the main ; we need to
practice the change-up , i think it's something that
can be done while under-way,
(i do that on a 45ft mono-hull); remember it blows 25+
at lake Mohave, and i'm kinda conservative. No way
would i bring that Rocket into that much wind with
Full sail aria (.)

The Cat is Near-Done except for sealing the Hull bolts, Fore-stay brackets,
& Mast, and the rudder mount bolts,
( i glassed both the hulls in the stern because of spiders
in the gel), and fixed some small de-lams on the daggers & rudders.

We decided Ageist using a Mast-float right off ; instead
we're gonna seal the Mast and practice righting it in
the bay at 6-mile Mohave in calm air. If there's a problem
then we get the ugly Mast-float LATER.

SO, i'll be researching all the sealants you guys suggested
and it should be in the water late next week !!

THANKS from : Bille and Tracy --co/owners

Ps :
Tracy's wife isn't nearly as Pissed now, at the
New purchase, cause
