Expecting delivery of Robinhood 36

[Jim Walsh]

She arrived!

But she capsized! (I don’t know how to turn the photo around.)

Just for the record, when I saw her she was right side up.....

When my pic post wrong side up I delete them form the post then go to the original pic and rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise then back to upright and save it. Then attach it to your post again and seems to work every time.

PS looks like Sesuit Harbor

How do you reduce the size so they dont take up the whole screen?

That typically depends on which browser software is used to view the post.

John, I upload pictures from my phone (iPhone 8) it gives me a choice on photo size. So I just click on the smaller size—usually about 600kb. The pictures seems to be the same size spatially but the resolution is lower though I can’t tell the difference on phone or tablet.

Thanks John, My phone was giving me those choices for a while then it quit. I'm sure it's in the settings somewhere.. I asked my nephew to fix it but he couldn't.

Maybe ask a "younger" nephew??? (Just kidding...

We put her in the water today, stepped the mast, set the rigging, put cotter pins on all the turnbuckles, put the stack pack on, put the sails on, had a guy come out and measure the cockpit for cushions, practiced docking, then... took her out and caught some wind! It was an ambitious and successful day. At every turn we found what we needed, had the right tools, didn’t drop any d-shackles into the drink, and didn’t sink the boat.

I have pics but every time I attach them they end up upside down. I’ve tried the different things but nothing works. Will keep trying. It was an epic day.

If I keep them as large pics they dont capsize.

[Jim Walsh]

Very nice. Stepped the mast, tuned the rig, AND went for a sail....all in the same day.

[John Stone]

and wrote about it and posted pictures.

Well done. You have a whole season of sailing ahead of you. Enjoy.

[Senorjacob]

Gave her a bath, put up the dodger and now I’m trying to reconnect the mast wires to the main wires. With some luck I’ll figure it out.

[mgphl52]

Great to see she's staying top-side up!

I met some folks on a Robinhood 36 in Jacksonville last January. Absolutely stunning boat with a factory built teak hard dodger !! Wish I had some pictures

[Senorjacob]

Wow, a teak hard dodger? That sounds amazing.

I wired up the masthead instruments and everything is working except for the tricolor and anchor light. Not sure what I’m doing wrong but I’m gonna take e multimeter out today and try to troubleshoot it. Next up is running the reefing lines and getting the freshwater pump to actually pump. I hear the motor but no water is flowing. Maybe the online filter? Does anyone know where that filter is?
