    The end shot with the clouds in full sail says it all.

    I love how everyone is getting involved and helping out... great bonding and precious memories being created even before the boat floats.

    Awesome Ziggy! Really puts into perspective all the work that went into Her. I was blown away when I saw the first glimpse of Her under Her full sail plan. Gives Tally Ho a run for Her money!

      Very nice, built well and well thought out, but it’s no Tally Ho. Tally Ho craftsmanship is unrivaled in materials, planning and workmanship.

    She turned out phenomenal! Makes me want to get started on my Welsford Penguin. BTW, I’m in Seadrift, Texas near the end of the 200 route😊

      I'll get Buddy in here to give you details. Basically the extended tail and the Bow Sprit and extra fore sail.

      Gros Bec. It's a bird

      Hey Thad! Gros Bec in cajun french means "Big Beak" which is wat we call the Yellow Crested Night Heron. In this case it refers to the giant bowsprit and the boat color scheme is the same as the birds.
