So flying fifteen 4034 has sailed.  We have a boat ramp that is above a bridge so it is necessary to paddle out beyond the bridge then setup the rig.  This took time but a strong group from the Hilo Sailing club made it all happen.  And the boat was christened by the esteemed Chris Bridges prior to hitting the water.  The weather was typical east Hawaii but with some squalls.  In the hands of two advanced sailors who were confident the boat would not falter she was put to the line.  Time to learn about Tuning Guides.





 The jib halyard slipped out of the mast (very quietly) so we reinserted it using the bridge.

The quiet before the storm.

These clouds brought in some strong winds.
