First I would like to think all the people that helped me out with the many questions I had putting this thing together and Kris who I stole the design from.

Thanks for everything

The neighbers hate me

No center bar (knee knocker)

Home made barber hauler system.

looks nice. What all did you do to it?

Also, your hulls look very shiney in the first picture... what's it coated with?
And I need to get one of those nacra decals you and Kris have... they look great. How much are they?

Well I replaced all the rigging, new tramp, new jib, all new lines, added the barber hauler, removed the center bar, repaired and regelcoated the dagger boards, rudders, and the hulls, new bearings in the traveler, new end caps,all kinds of new hardware, rebuilt the outhaul on the boom, replaced all the trap lines and handles and bungees, changed the rudder system so I have no bungee, I just have a line to pull up with and to pull down with,new hinge pins for the rudder,new tiller bar connections and an adjuster to align the rudders and of course new stickers.

On the trailer I have new bearings, new wiring, new lights, and new weels and tires(not pictured) and new bearing buddies.

I got the decals from the cat house.

It looks just great to me, well done and now the pleasure of sailing and tuning her. 35/40knots outside my window and winter is on the way. I hope you get all you deserve for the effort this season.

Airborne:

Bring your boat down and race Wayward Winds. Friend Kris has a nice one he is going to race and there will be a 5.0 and maybe a 5.5 there. Here is Kris's boat.

Doug

Ya the boat does look grat.
I know the decal was from cathouse, but how much did you pay for it?

Also, how hard was it to regelcoat the hulls, and how much did it cost, money and time wise?

I might have my 5.2 to there also, we could have a whole fleet of them!

Guys:

It will be a REAL good regatta. Just left planning meeting earlier. Bug raffle, good food, BIG bomb fire Saturday night. Lot of boats come in early. We will have some entertainment and jello shots for early arrivals. If you are going to come, go on site and pre-register.

Doug

I haven't met Kris yet in person, but I have talked to him on the phone many times. When are the Wayward Winds races.

Doug, I am not sure how I feel about a bomb fire! I am hoping that you mean a bon!

I don't remember exactly how much the decals were but about 20-30$. I had the hulls done but he made a big mistake on the price. (Way to cheap). He will not do it again for that price. He sprayed the dagger boards and the rudders after I repaired them. I had about 2 hours per board and per rudder sanding on them.

June 2-3 at Texas City Dike. Do a Google Earth. One of the best places in the country to sail. Flat water and good wind MOST of the time. More info and NOR here soon. www.tcdyc.com

Doug

Thanks for the kind words, it actually was a lot of fun restoring it even though it is not worth the money I put in it.

My wife says she is going to bury me in it. lol

oh ok I thought you were the one that gelcoated it.

How much did the guy that did it for you charge if you don't mind me asking?

Your boat looks almost brand new. What year is it BTW?
