Congratulations, what a beautiful dream boat! You’ve done a remarkable job and I think Captain Matthew Flinders himself would be proud of your accomplishment.

Belay previous post, I’ll purchase all five!

I’d like to purchase the two lashing please. Do you accept PayPal or prefer check?

Open statement to all those fellow builders, friends and new acquaintances which attended this year's Messabout. I want to thank everyone especially our gracious hosts for coming out to celebrate a remarkable line of designs and share in the fellowship of these beautiful boats. Each year I learn volumes from the collective and enjoy such supportive commraderie. What a special experience. Thank you for coming out far and wide which further indicates to me the appeal of these boats. I hope to see you all on the water in the future. Fair winds and following seas.

Jumping Jehoshaphat! That’s a beautiful looking boat, can’t wait to see it in person!

More pics waiting for paint to dry.

I've been making slow and steady progress with the boat. Flipping the boat back over was significant mental milestone and helped motivate me to the next goal. I've completed fairing and priming most of the hull and topsides and plan to paint this week. There's beginning to be a lot of pollen so open garage doors is become limited. There's still a large number of smaller items to complete but I feel the I'm getting closer to test in water. The cabin hasn't been painted and I'm disappointed how overhead turned out so I'll probably leave it be until later.

I located a Hobie Miracle asymmetrical with a 12’ luff, 17’leech and 10.5’ foot for $ 175. It looks in great condition however It looks like a pretty flat cut. todd

I’m looking to purchase a asymmetrical kite for a CS20mk3 and looking for dimensions and or recommendations on cut, i.e. code 0 or deeper? r/ Todd

Congratulations, beautiful baby boy!

You have such a beautiful boat, I imagine she sails as well as she looks.

I couldn’t agree more especially being vetted by the indomitable Roger Barnes. And it sure beats shelling out the Benjamin’s for an auto pilot.

Mark et all: thank you one and all for the many excellent suggestions. I will first attempt to tie the mast to a tree outback with a series of hitches the get my neighbor who’s a power lifter and myself to pull on the sleeve. If unsuccessful I’ll switch to oil filter wrench and if that fails make a longitudinal cut to open her up enough. I’ll keep you posted with pictures this weekend. Todd out.
