Congratulations. It's a great feeling, isn't it - not only that you are sailing at last, but that it all works, too!!

I finally had my first sail on the much modified Nic 32, SEA ELF. I went out for a three day shake down and I'm really impressed with how she handled. There are a few minor issues to deal with but I am very pleased with how it all turned out. The sail design was based on Van Loans, she's schooner rigged and the sails are for now, polytarps. After nine long years, Sea Elf sails again!
