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
Norm's CS17
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)
Norm & Docpal
A CS20 EC22
and CS20 DAWN PATROL
SUMMER BREEZE moves in a light autumn breeze
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)
