Chuck Leinweber of Duckworks met me for the launch. Chuck is a super nice guy, very laid back, unassuming and casual. He invited a couple of other boat builders who were also extremely friendly and relaxed.
The boat performed excellently. Exactly what I wanted. Super stable, easy to handle, lots of room. The boat accelerates to its max speed with not all that much wind. Didn't have any problems tacking, jibing, working upwind, etc.
We weren't in any real wind or waves today, but I got a feel for how the boat will handle, and I have no complaint.

The finished boat looks amazing Jon! If I could build anything with this kind of craftsmanship I'd be very please with myself! :-)
Cheers!

Thanks Barry. I'm really happy with how the boat turned out. I don't even have the urge to build something else, I just want to go sailing now.
