wkisting Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Hi all, I wanted to share what has been keeping me delinquent from the forum for so long... much easier to build than a Core Sound 20, and yet infinitely more complex. She was launched at 1:05 on 2/11/2010. We kept the scantlings down so she came in at only 5lbs. 6 oz., and we christened her Isabella Virginia Kisting. She handles beautifully if you keep her topped off with milk. Hope all is well with you all. Wes Quote
John Turpin Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 She's a beauty, Wes. Hearty congratulations! Here's a tip. Hug her as much as you can now. They grow up quickly and then are gone before you know it. Quote
Roger Peterson Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Kisting. Looks like you need to scale down your CS20 to about 2" to the foot and build a 40" cradle. Your little one will be sailing in her Daddy's dreams in no time... :grin: Quote
PAR Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 This is precisely why we call them our better half . . . Quote
John Burritt Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 You mean you'd let a little thing like that interfere w/ building your boat? JUST KIDDING!!! Congratulations! This will complicate your building plans because now you'll have to decide what boat she'll need and just how soon. Quote
Guest LeeH Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 That is s-o-o-o-o-o-o cool! She's absolutely beautiful. Looks like everybody's healthy and raring to go. Congratulations ! I predict smooth sailing for about two years. After that, you wont know who's handling who (whom?). :grin: Quote
