What a moment to treasure. Well done Margo and everyone who helped. She looks very, very good and has her very own style in her new paint. Quite distinctive.

What a glorious morning. Sarah is absoltely beautiful. Congratulations!

[Paul Pless]

What a wonderful day!!!

[pipefitter]

Congratulations!
And to think you still have to survive the excitement of seeing her rigged and then the ultimate first sail. Thank you for sharing this project throughout. It's been great entertainment and one of the best lessons of perseverance to grace the pages of this forum and beyond.
Incredible achievement to say the least.

[Steve Lansdowne]

Truly, a ship event that 'launched' a thousand smiles!!

[Dan McCosh]

Margo,

Julia and I are cheering as we see each photo. We know the feeling and share your joy. What a "Rocky" moment.

See you on the Reach one of these Summers real soon.

Best,

Russ and Julia

Tears in my eyes...



I'm thinking this deserves a place on the masthead opposite the Prairie Islander? Hard to find anyone who represents the soul and spirit of Woodenboat like those two.

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

Dave would be proud, ya did good Margo.

[StevenBauer]

I was thinking the same thing as Phil.

A little misty-eyed myself. What a fitting tribute and memorial to Dave. What a magnificent obsession, Margo. What a fantastic community effort from all the helpers. What a beautiful result.

Sail on Sarah, Margo, and Dave, sail on.

[FSS172]

What a moment... what an accomplishment... words fail.

[boylesboats]

absolutely beautiful

[Wiley Baggins]

Congratulations!

By the the way, Margo, this...

I got your WOO HOO

...has the makings of a great t-shirt.

[Dan McCosh]

James Cameron will be calling soon.

[MiddleAgesMan]

She is stunning, Margo. You did a great job bringing Ray Hunt's masterpiece back to life.

Congrats doesn't really go far enough but it's all I can say at the moment...misty-eyed as well.

BTW--those waters and shores sure look familiar. I lived on my Gazelle up Sebastian Creek a ways, just short of English Harbor....I think it was called Sebastian but I might be remembering it wrong.

[Nanoose]

Gorgeous. Inspiring. Awe inspiring.

Just amazing, Margo. Simply amazing....both her and you!

[Marlow]

Unlurking just to add one more WOOHOO!!

Congratulations!!!

[htom]

Huzzah, huzzah, huzzah! I don't think that Dave could be any prouder of you than we are. Well done.

[bob easton]

Simply F*A*B*U*L*O*U*S !!! Congratulations Margo. Bask in the pride of an awesome boat!

"Build me straight, O worthy Master.
Stanch and strong, a goodly vessel,
That shall laugh at all disaster,
And with wave and whirlwind wrestle!"

A small passage from (The Building of the Ship by Longfellow) says it all!
Thank you for the experience.
