Congratulations, Peter! Yea, another "odd-looking" boat comes online.

It seems Albatross is the talk of the marina where she's berthed. Not only are sailboats in the minority there, but Alba is semi-unique on the Delaware. There's a Colvin Gazelle that does party tours further downriver at Philadelphia, but that's it.

Fair winds, pleasant sailing, and do post some pics soon.

MD!

Subscribed and waiting!

She looks great in your 'avatar', Peter.  I bet you can't wait to try her out.  Congratulations, and another imminent BOTM, Mr Webmaster :-)

Well slightly later than anticipated, I finally launched 'Mariposa'.  She's sitting pretty well in her berth and she's dry:-)  Having enjoyed lots of balmy weather here over the last few weeks, right on cue the rains arrived and with it 5's and 6's so I'm waiting for things to calm down a bit before bending on the sail, and hoisting it.  Hopefully I'll get out for a sail over the weekend.  I'll let you know how she handles.

I'll add some pictures to my gallery over the next few days.

Peter
