Splash Day...

[Maine Sail]

Just sitting here waiting for my hauler...

Trying one of these this year.

It WILL come off if I'm not satisfied with the speed gain over the Campbell Sailor AND if I am not satisfied with vibration. Tim R. witnessed how smooth as glass the CS was.. Hated my last two blade folder, but I am a glutton...

On a sad note I did not get to complete my FHA heating system install before launch. Too busy, but that's a good thing I guess... Rather be sailing than in the yard installing a heater........

 

[Tim R.]

It was smooth motoring. But this one will be better for sailing.

Be over later to clean out the garage

A huge rug just showed up? Is it yours or did we get a new rug I don't know about yet..?

 

[Tim R.]

That's my rug. I thought they had already shipped it in one of the existing boxes.

What did you do with your antifouling mess?

Who made the prop, Maine??
It looks geared, was your other one a simple folder?

 

[Bob J.]

Pretty Boat!!

 

[ifmdalvey]

You got me all jealous, because my new boat is at the back of the shed, i have another two weeks to wait - at least.
I will be interested to know how you get on with the new prop, how did you come up with that make and model? i just know you have to have looked at every option available.

 

[Joe]

Sweet..... I think that prop might be worth more than my entire boat.

I just updated that thread..

Yes it is a geared Flex-O-Fold. Putted around with it today and the vibration is definitely more pronounced but I want to let the rig tune set in and do a spring alignment check before making any assessments..

Beautiful boat, how do you get the shaft so clean and shiny? Hoping for a great season!

Pressure wash well then wet sand paper. It also seems to come out every year because it is easy with v-drive to do so........

My launch didn't happen today

winds were 25-30 mph this morning. It even snowed in Green Bay last night. Pushed off launching till tomorrow morning.
