I think I finally figured out (thanks Mike ) how to get photos to this site. Check out www.PictureTrail.com/brucejanssen to see some of the work I did last winter.

Re: CD25D refit photos
Very nice! I am especially interested in the heater/fireplace. I know Lake Granby well - heat is a must. I have often considered adding one to my CD270, but too chicken to do it.

Wow! You do beautiful work. I have been thinking about stern rail seats for our CD30, but didn't want to have to do a rework on the stern rail. Are the seats attached via rope or nylon ties? How comfortable are the seats?

High altitude sailing
Have you any judgement whether the thin air at 8000 ft noticeably degrades the boat's perormance at any given wind velocity?
Re: Teak Seats on Stern Rails
Your work looks great. A real labor of love, I'm sure. I've been contemplating installing some sort of seat on the stern rails (we have a CD 26). I would be interested in learning more about how you designed this, the materials used and approximate dimensions.

Re: High altitude sailing
Hi Ed,
I had a Tremolino trimaran on Lake Dillon in Colorado (closer to 10,000 feet I think) for several years. Thin air or thick there was usually plenty of velocity for certain hours of the day. I can't really answer your question but from observation thin air matters when you bake a cake but for sailing it probably doesn't signify.
