Post some pictures !!

If you have a phone with googles' android operating system it makes posting pictures to the forum easy.

I recently bought my 18 and am waiting for my Murrays order to arrive.

Tons of info here - search function works okay - not great - but nobody will bash you for asking simple questions unlike many other forums.

I placed a big order (~$500) from Murrays on 10/11 and it's still not here !?!? I think they sent it on a sailboat. A monohull !! :roll:

From another newb - welcome !

Mike
Here's mine !

My order finally arrived !

Righting bag system, 2 cat bags for inside hull storage at hatches, grommet kit, shroud covers, Murrays spare parts kit, rigging tape, hatch sealing kit with nylon fasteners (already got 6"screw type access hatches), rudder pins (mine were very worn, spare 7-hole stay adjuster, mast bast bearing kit, random spare rigging, spare drain plugs and a Hobie tool. Wasn't cheap but i'm ready to sail. I'm sure the first thing to go will be one of the few things i don't have a spare for. Oh well. This winter will be lonnnnnnnggggggggg. :cry:
