It's in

Today with less than ideal conditions we put the boat in.

To launch it we put some wheels under the hulls and wheeled it down the ramp with it tied to a car to slow it down. Seemed a bit unconventional but it worked, but probably wouldn't want to do it that way on a bigger boat.

I have not sorted out sails yet, so it was a motor cruise for the first voyage. The 5Hp motor seems enough. Cruises around 6.5 knots, max speed 8 knots.

Still lots of small jobs to do, including sails, don't think I'll have enough money for new sails though. But I'm happy with how it is coming together.

Moving Day

Today the boat was moved near the water.

This was the first time I was able to properly see the boat, it takes some getting used to after all this time in the garage. The mast was temporarily raised to measure lengths and has since been lowered. Hopefully the boat will be launched within a week.
The day was a lot of hard work and this would not have been possible without the many helping hands giving up there time to help me. Thank you guys.
