Clear coated

The rudder stocks and mast are now clear coated. Now We will move onto sanding and refinishing the boat so it will have the best finish before the North Americans.  Today I sailed in the light winds at the Gulfport Yacht Club in their Saturday series and tied for first. I will return in two weeks and most likely load the trailer for California then.

For Sale!

I have decided to sell my F18. I will become too busy in the future with school so I am deciding to focus on one boat which is the A Cat and excel in that.  It is listed here.   If interested call 804 512 0248.

Cleaning Up

Now that I have gotten all of my arrangements straight to go to Long Beach for the North American Championship's in August I will spend the next month or so preparing the boat.  This consists mainly of a clean up.  A new rudder system will be made and we plan to repaint the boat. I also plan on adding rudder winglets. We will lose some weight with the new rudder heads and sanding off the old finish. In two weeks I plan to sail in Gulfport, then we will sand it down.  All of this work is mainly to make the boat go through the water as easily as possible.
