PSwan Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Finaly launched the Tiki on New Years Eve after 18 months of weekend building. Turned out to be a great day in Tampa with a high of 82F and a SE 15 knot breeze. Decided to take her out on a local lake for the first sail to introduce our selves to each other. She behaved like a real lady. could not have been a more perfect day. Still more cabin trim and painting to complete with a few modifications thrown in, but are we ever finished with a boat? Quote
capt jake Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Now that is a nice looking Weekender! 82 degrees! You should be ashamed for posting that in winter. Sounds like it is working out well. Nice job. Quote

mrthethird Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 Way cool. Always good to see them in the water. [OT] What's that green stuff in your yard? :? Quote
capt jake Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 What's that green stuff in your yard? Can't be moss, it's too warm there. :roll: Now me, on the other hand, I have moss! Quote
Hirilonde Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 Now me, on the other hand, I have moss! Green, looks pretty, doesn't need fertilizer or watering? I have some of that stuff too Pswan, She looks great. Oh, and to answer your question but are we ever finished with a boat? "A boat isn't finished until she sinks." Thats what "they" say anyway. I just know my boats will never be finished! :wink: Quote
Brian Walters Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 Great job Pswan, And congratulations with your launch, she looks great. Brian. Quote
Greg Luckett Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 Congratulations on splashing and on such an auspicious day too. She is a pretty boat. Quote
