Let me be the first to say congratulations. It is pretty damn cool to get a hull out of the water. I wish I was located where you were and was still able to get a hull out of the water. Right now I'd be scared just to get in the water. Keep it up man, it seems like your really coming along. Now just flip it.

That is a great feeling isn't it!! I can remember the first time like it was yesterday.
But believe me once you have done it you will not be able to stop.

i went out again today, and hopefully will tomorrow as well. today was just as exciting, maybe even a little more so because there was a small swell in the water running south to north, and with an ese wind we were having fun jumping the boat (not all the way out of the water, mind you, just mostly). i wonder, though, if anyone can tell me how many feet of line and what size the main halyard and the jib halyard are supposed to be? mine finally gave up the ghost today after twenty-five years of service. i have to get off the computer now though, because, somehow, i still feel like i'm rocking back and forth on the water, and it's starting to feel funny.
