Launch Weekend Sail

Post by jhenson »

Our Cal 2-27 was launched last Sunday after a 3 week haul that included wax, bottom paint, new grahics, copious amounts of engine work, ect, ect. We had a glorious sail last weekend including a raft-up with my brothers boat in Palmer Cove in the Yeocomico River near the mouth of the Potomac (which will be our new home waters).

Someday I'm going to leave my boat in the water all year except for a 3-week maintenance haulout! :)

She looks kind of "European hard-chined steel or aluminum" to me..?

I think she's an Ovni by Alubat, a French aluminum lifting keel boat.

Yes,

She is an aluminum multi-chine. The owner commented how expensive bottom paint was for the hull.
