Congratulations on the launch Mark!
It must be very satisfying to see the subject of all that work and attention in the water. I agree on the spaceship look.
Did you try motoring her? If so how did it go?
We are going to relaunch Blind Date monday June 13th 1300 hours.
Engine mount is fitted in the walkway under a seat with a seat opposite for fuel tanks.
Rudders and binnacle with steering shafts are ready awaiting the steering lines. Preliminary lines are fitted.
Weight should now be around 1800 kg.
Regards,
Rudolf

Weighing in at 2.55 tonne (ww-1420kg, lw- 1130kg), it had a precarious ride over the trees (at one stage becoming entangled), settling nicely in the river to much applause from the relieved crowd of onlookers. Johnny (the owner), Michele and I were elated, she looks beautiful. Most men have commented how she looks like a spaceship while women saw her more as a beautiful swan.She is now anchored behind the building shed awaiting her mast. The plan is to build the mast and boom, crane them onto the deck, then motor down the very narrow channel under two low bridges and step the mast the other side. She will then be motored out to sea over the very shallow Kalang River bar.The website will be updated soon once we have gathered some photos.Regards,Mark
