Sorry for the slow response to this project. 2008 was a hard year myself and my business but we made it through it. I did complete the project and I will work on posting some more pictures soon. I have since sailed the boat on a local lake several times and it was wonderful. It handles perfectly and took to the wind very well. I used a mast from an old sailboat that I purchased from a friend so that made it allot easier to finish. I also used the trailer that old boat was on for mine. I have not had it out in several years now and plan to this spring as soon as the weather breaks it is really cold here now.
