Sorry that the photos below aren't in order.  I went to the trouble of naming them with a letter of the alphabet at the front to get them in order, but to no avail.  The weblog chooses its own order!

Anyway, below are photos of the big day.  The boat went into the water on Friday the 7th of November.  She is floating well above her lines (lighter than expected) which was a pleasant surprise to the boat builders.  She is a little aft-heavy, but that should adjust as we add water in the tanks, the forestay & jib and main sail.

Mast is 50 feet (15.15 meters) long!

NERVOUS TIME!
