AWESOME!!!

My Typhoon #2, MOCO, should get wet this weekend too (and Ty #3 may be getting adopted by a new skipper).

She needed a bit of maintenance (small hull patch, hoses replaced, tiller fixed, standing rigging and of course bottom paint) but with that done, this weekend's sea trial went very well. Those that know her will be glad to hear she is seaworthy again.

I believe that this means we have one more boat that will be sailing in the Nationals (Sat June 23rd :) - other obligations on that Sunday :( )

Wolf's sea trial went fine with the exception of the mainsail furling jamming (which I cleared) and the engine overheating near the end of the day (which I fixed by replacing the raw-water impeller). She sailed like a dream. I'm undecided if single-handing her the first time out was bravery or stupidity (opinion on this varies in my home).
