Great looking boat Steve..... Why so long of trailer?

The boat hauler carries much larger boats than mine most days. :)
I'm heading back down to the boat in a few minutes. Then Family Boatbuilding Festival in the morning.:)

Steven

[Sue H.]

Simply beautiful Steven. Enjoy, and keep us posted.

[StevenBauer]

Running lights are working, cabin lights, too! :) Tomorrow the mast goes in and I'll bring her over to her mooring. Thanks again Mark! :)

Steven

[Paul Fitzgerald]

I've got to get myself a trailer and a truck like that, nice boats too,

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

STICKS IN !!!

Now she's a SAILboat ;)

( WHOA :eek: Thats a TALL rig for a boat that size :eek: )

[John of Phoenix]

I bet there's a story behind putting that mast up.

[Concordia...41]

Two words ...


WOO HOO !!!

:)

[StevenBauer]

I bet there's a story behind putting that mast up.

The story with stepping the mast is I paid $160 to have the marina's rigging crew put it in with their crane. :) The real story involves getting her to her new mooring. :eek: Let's just say that it was a very low tide. :eek::eek: So low that we couldn't get to the dock. Or my truck which had the dinghy in it. :eek: Luckily for Mark, Holly and me Mary got out of work a few minutes early and came to our rescue:

I don't think I actually got a shot of her at her mooring, it would have been a good one with tonight's amazing sunset. Here's a better shot of the mast in place:

Here's Holly and me:

And one of Mark:

Man I'm exhausted.

Steven

[Paul Pless]

Boy! she's come a long way since I saw her in your driveway less than two weeks ago.:)

[StevenBauer]

Here's a little video from the marina:

[Domesticated_Mr. Know It All]

Wow!
It's gonna be a great summer for you and yours.
Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

[John B]

So pleased for you Steven. Its a buzz isn't it. I still get a little one every year when we relaunch.
Countdown for a sail now:D

What kind of ugly boat is that stubby cube in the back?

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r241/bauerdad/Ostkust/IMG_1055.jpg

This...THING is so ugly it should be scuttled and the owner charged for serious taste aberrance.

[Ian McColgin]

Finastkind.

You made my morning Martin.

Hope to drop round today (was outatown for the weekend)

[StevenBauer]

Gareth, the Compass Project is launching the 20 Bevins Skiffs that we've been building since Sunday morning at 1pm at East End Beach. I'll give you a call later this morning.

Steven

[Hwyl]

I'd forgotten about that, I spent most of the day in the area.

Sent you a PM

[StevenBauer]

Today was the day! See thread in Misc Boat.

Ah, the birthday gift that keeps giving.:) Best of luck .DanL

[brad9798]

Sorry, I LOVE your boat ... as with true boat lovers, I am also interested in TOSMO ... I am no blow and/or power snob like many others.

Some folks are a bit insecure/immature!

:rolleyes:

[martin schulz]

I am no blow and/or power snob like many others.:rolleyes:

I don't have a problem with powerboat either (even own a little 1930 clinker built motorsnekke), but this "thing" is just expensive junk. Then again, when people spent their money on things like this they don't get the idea to spent it on a beautiful boat and ruin its looks with biminis, ugly doghouses and stainless steel rails.
