Jknight611 Posted May 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Hi Amos, We have reserved a slip in a marina on Lake Katherine, after last year’s hurricanes it’s the only travelift in operation in our area. It’s is a 2 hour drive from home but is near our favorite cruising areas along the gulf coast. Several family events going on for a few weeks, then getting serious! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Anderson Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 I had to Google where Lake Catherine is and I need to download some more detailed charts of the area. Looks like an intriguing area to explore. Going out to Cat Island? Someday I would love to sail with you down there. We have fond memories of our cruise to Portsmouth with Southern Express and Carlita. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jknight611 Posted July 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 Still not enough wind to really sail, but motoring around a bit. Torqeedo sez….5.8kts can motor for 6.2 hours. Might been a little more if the solar panels were opened up! Still monkeying around with lazyjacks for the main…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jknight611 Posted July 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 Thank you Steve, hope to see you and your boat at the Messabout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Anderson Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Here is hoping you get some fair winds soon. In the mean time it won't hurt to thoroughly test auxiliary and other systems. Kalos looking sweet on the water. I guess the Messabout is not that far around the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PadrePoint Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Kalos is certainly looking it’s name: The adjective καλός means beautiful and encompasses meanings equivalent to English "good", "noble", and "handsome". The form given by convention is the masculine, but it was equally used of women (the feminine form is καλή) and could also describe animals or inanimate objects. Even more with its sails catching air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jknight611 Posted November 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Great Messabout, we sure had a good time, good to sea everyone! Thanks to everyone that shared photos with Carol an myself. Kalos had a meeting with Alan an Graham, few rather minor mods to be done, adding a bit to the leading edge of the rudder, increasing the pivot angle of the windvane, and added 15 lbs of lead to the tip of the centerboard. The centerboard didn’t want to extend when sailing, hopefully this bit of weight will encourage it to drop more positively. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Anderson Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 So inspiring to see your boat and to sail on her. You and Carol have done a beautiful job. Thanks so much for leading the way with this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
