I just arrived home with my new Blade this afternooon. I picked it up from Vectorworks last week June 30 and drove it home during the last 3 days(Phoenix). I would like to thank Chuck H. for spending several hours of his Friday afternoon showing my wife and I the mast and spinnaker setup. Matt M. was on vacation and was not available. Just as Chuck H. mentioned, my front mast yoke came loose. I stopped at Home Depot on the way across Texas and added a Nylock nut.

I hope to set up the boat this weekend and will be building a sail box next weekend using HDPE plastic sheet. I will post pictures later next week. My spinnaker was late so it is being shipped directly to my house. The rudder and dagger boards are very light compaired to my H20 rudders and boards. I was supprised to see the new rudder setup. I thought the lockdown rod was being used. It uses a pulldown line. I will reserve judgement on the rudder setup until after I sail it through surf in Rocky Point Mexico. I have to clean up the boat and trailer after my 2200 mile drive back home (bug juice).
