Greetings from Vermont

[DavidGC]

Hello all -

I am currently kept to weekend "camp cruising" until the kids get a little older. Plan is to spend (hopefully early) retirement cruising the Carribean and Atlantic coast.

I currently do my camp cruising in "Killyrover," a 16 foot sharpie flying a balanced lug sail, designed by Jim Michalak and built by me over two summers.
Here she is on launch day, last fall:


I look forward to learning from all of you.

Welcome aboard, David! Nice little boat you've got there--thanks for posting the pic. It's good family fun to have a boat that you can daysail and beach for picnics or exploring ashore. We had a Hobie 16 when our kids were growing up, and it sure gave us a lot of good memories.

Hi Dave, welcome aboard buddy. Sweet Pic man. Got any of the build in progress?

Any good maple syrup goin 'round there these days?

Cheers

Nice Boat, welcome aboard!

Hud -- No way! This boat is for daddy to get away from the kids! (I have a 21 ft Four Winns powerboat for the family fun).

Bill - I have a Web site that followed the build -- more pics than you could ever want:

Ah hah! Now I get the picture...

Speaking of pictures, I had trouble with some of the galleries--photos didn't load.
