Hello, this Rikk Stocking and I am the guy who bought the Susan G. As with many things in re B&B I owe it all to Carla B. I purchased the blue prints for the P22 from Carla. Then I said I would not commit to a build without a sail on one. She said no problem Tony Day is a great guy and he will do it. I called Tony and the sail ended up with my purchase of his boat after a sail during the Marine Mart in Washington, NC. That sail answered all my questions. It was blowing 15-20 with higher gusts. Susan G simply powered through it all. Awesome. I feel blessed to have met Tony and have the opportunity to become the new owner of Susan G. The name Lil Sox is a form of homage to my Dad. In his twenties he purchased an old 29' gaff ketch which was named Sox. Just a few more details and I will finish up. I am retired, now resident in Salisbury, NC. I live near High Rock lake which will be home waters. Presently I also own an old elver design canoe yawl. She has been an experience. I got her used in Iowa! Been working on her off and on for 4 years. Now am trying to finish her refit full throttle. She will be up for sale soon. I have had many questions, but I have felt I was out of my league when I read the forum and saw pictures of the work you guys do. Presently I am piecing out dry rot from the bottom. Tired of it! Question: how do you get epoxy off of plastic eye glasses? Tony brought the boat to me and supervised her maiden sail on High Rock. It was a testimonial to the P22. Tony & I mostly yakked on & on while Maggie, my girl friend sailed her down wind. Thing is it was her second time in a sailboat -first time at the helm. What a gal and what a boat! Hope to send photos if I can figure how to do it. Again, Tony, thank you for the honor of taking over your masterpiece.
