I might get the Tiger out next Saturday in Rhode Island, weather permitting. Last year, Nov 9th was my last day on the 16 and March 10th (yes March!) was the first day back out. Nice and long season, as long as you have the gear for it!!!

Looking good!

I take it your boats made it through the storm a couple weeks ago? It was a good thing we took mine out, the water was up on the stairs. The neighbors Getaway ended up upside down over on the public beach, sans mast.

Yeah we made it, had to pull the cats up about 15 feet (the limit) and I was watching the 17 lifting up from the wind (non direct) hitting the bottom of the tramp. Got some straps on it to anchor.

I helped pick the neighbors Getaway up from the local beach- a tangled mess. Musta flipped over the little spit of land, then floated down to the shore. Waves killed it.

He was bummed.

Ken's Prindle 19 got pushed into some rocks (very thin hulls); already fixed.

Wow, what a bummer. That boat was brand new! Glad to hear your boats made it through relatively unscathed.
