A very fine boat.  The first pictures I've seen of a BRS 17' under sail.  What's the water temperature there?

[Hirilonde]

Some really nice sailing photos of a beautiful boat.  Getting those sailing photos is always the hardest thing to do.  Thanks for sharing them.

the water temperature in the bay was 14C, cant say in F scale. The wormest water since many years because of very sunny spring there. Othervise I would not expect more than 9C in May.

A very beautiful boat!

Very nice!  Good job on the build-out.  Hooray for cat ketches.

  Congratulations!  The boat looks great and I bet the multi-day shakedown cruise was a good time.  I always like to see Graham's designs on the water.

Beautiful boat!  If I go to Poland in May 2010 (which is a possibility), I would love to see DOPPIO.

Great to see your boat out on the water.  Looks like you have done a good job on the build.  Hope she gives you many happy hours.

Thank you everybody for your warm words on Doppio. Richard, I was using some Kokaku scenes  as  a  desktop wallpaper on my PC for a long time!

Well. now there's a time to fix some problems. One of them is a leak from the top of the centeroard box.There's a small hole there (I've been in a hurry makeing the CB top cover) and, when the boat speeds up, a water level inside the centerboard box is rising high up to the hole.

Are there any elaborated or checked out solutions for the CB bottom slot covers?
