If I was ever in the same state as the boat, it'd probably get done sooner!

I just retrieved the boat from my friends backyard in California and moved it up to my current "home" in Washington State.
After a couple days of cleaning the boat shined up pretty nice, and I have installed the majority of the deck hardware.
My "compass mount / cleat cover" in the cockpit is going to get a make-over so it fits better in the cockpit and solves an interference issue with the beer holders and cam cleats inside.
Mast is inside the GP26 mast mold stowed on deck in the photo.
Have a rudder to build and keel.
This little boat is more powered up than the GP26 and should be incredibly fun to sail with all the good manners of the GP26; upwind speed/stability/great control downwind

I've been waiting quite a few years to see this boat in the water. The boat has kept my interest on high and
would love to see her slip into the drank. I don't think there would be to big of a crowd if you invited the public.
How about Date, Time and Ramp coordinates? Would love to take those first pics which will be of a
very successful Sportboat. Depending on the usual, nice fit finish, great mast and rig, like I said, the regular,
I'm in, let's start cranking them out!
