Finally launched my Egret on saturday at Lake Woodlands in The Woodlands, Tx , North of Houston. Rowed with my wife. Will sail later this week. First time to row also, wasn't as easy as it looks.. Took me a while to find a rhythem and feel coordindated. Wore my self out. I look forward to sailing and taking it easy.. Pics of the launch are at this link http://ronnieo72.multiply.com/photos

yaaaaay... it is good to hear some splashing... It always fun to launch a new boat.. always...
ReplyDeleteGoing to take a gander at your photos
Ronnie,
ReplyDeleteCongratz.... turned out nice, a great looking boat.
I found it interesting that it sits so high in the water. er. higher then I thought. I bet it will track nicely under sail.
Video under sail?
Spring is about sprung for us here in Indy. Any excuse to be out is a good one.
Awesome work, thanks for the update.
All the Egrets appear that way on devlins site.. can carry aprox 650 lbs passengers + payload.... I did have 80 lbs of bottled water in the front to counter some of my weight when I took the pics with the sail hoisted so it might have been a little bow heavy.
ReplyDeleteWill work on the video.. I would like to see that also.. but was by myself.
ya did a fantastic job building Egret.. Imprssive photos
ReplyDeleteHere here great build, do you know how sail or are you going to pick it up as you go along,
ReplyDeleteits funny that we know it will float, but it's always great to it in the water,
Graeme.
