one week to splash

[Ken Hutchins]

Now I could leave it at that and make every one wonder. :D But to be a kinder forumite her name is RYUGIN, Lyle Hess designed 40' cutter being built by a Wickford RI boatbuilder, George Zachorne, Jr. smile.gif The hull is being launched to make room in the shop for building the rigging, etc this winter. I have seen this boat a few times during construction and it sure is nice. I am planning to attend the launch and will post photos provided the boat's owners and George approve of posting them smile.gif

Thanks, Ken. Looking forward to pics. After seeing your boat, that's the launch that I really want to see!

It was a poor day for photos, but anyday a wooden boat gets splashed is a great day. There was well over a hundred people there for the launching and several other wooden boats adding more pleasure to the festivities.
Her she is ready to go in, there is still some work to be done but with the hull out of the shop George will have more room to work. (like make the proper mast)

A fine wooden boat in her natural environment.
