First off, MANY thanks to Graham, Carla, Beth,Alan,  David, etc., etc. for their incredibly gracious hosting of the Messabout! it was an absolutely wonderful, and informative, couple of days, and I had a great time. I took a bunch of pictures which I just posted  onto a Flickr page, but I'm having "issues"getting the link to work. If it does NOT post here I'll go back and post the pix in small groups.

OK, THAT wasn't what I was trying to link to. BUT if you go to www. Flickr.com ,  and look up "Docpal" / 2013 B & B  Messabout" you should be able to see ALL of the above a lot slower...If anyone pictured would like a copy of a particular picture, please drop me a note with your e-mail address and I'll pass them along. I am at- docpalumbo "at" gmail 'dot' com

Great day at B&B on Saturday, I got to spend plenty of time in a CS17 (thanks Norm!), which was my first time in a B&B boat. Luckily my wife and two girls approved, so I haven't wasted the last two years of building :)

SUMMER BREEZE had new owners, I heard this was their first time launching:

Dock full of catketches:

Saturday coming to a close:

I might steal this idea for integrating fairleads into the coaming, and I noticed many boats had the filler panels to create a large raised deck forward

Handy storage and a slick knotmeter installation

Adrian took this one of me pretending that I know what I'm doing with her dad's boat:

Another 17 that Alan was maneuvering nicely (without use of the rudder for a while)

The handsome AMYCITA (see WoodenBoat #235) motored in on Saturday, she's closing in on 100 years old. Another boat from Massachusetts -- apparently I have to come to North Carolina to see all my neighbors' cool boats :)

All in all a great time. Great boats and lots of nice people. My girls, of course, liked all the dogs that showed up.

 

Thanks to Graham, Carla, & Beth for hosting a great event, I hope to make it back down again (hopefully with a finished boat next time)

p.s. if anyone wants a full-res image of these, just pm me.

I'd like to thank all of the participants of our Messabout for contributing your time, energy, and presence to a wonderful experience. Many of you traveled from afar, all I had to do was step out my front door.

 

I have attached some pictures from Saturday here, print inquiries welcome.

@Randy, thanks for that beautiful picture of Summer Breeze (my family and I are the new owners).  

 

Here are my pictures (including shots of the capsize test on Sunday morning).
