Went out 2 days over the weekend. Pretty happy with the work we did and how she turned out.

She looks great! Nice work. You should be proud.

I agree on the cupholders, but have to ask: Where's the mini-keg holder?

I have cooler for it that runs on a 12v system- I have to rig up a battery and solar panel, then mount the cooler, probably on the shelf in the cuddy- need strength and clearance.

Ha! I should have guessed that a man with the foresight of those cupholders would have thought this through to its logical conclusion.

Wow !! As the cork cleared the mast head a great day of celebration and fun to be had by all quickly followed.

And everyone had a life vest right ? Had to ask, I just got done watching Adrift 2.

Your boat looks super ! Brad

In the "Cupholders" picture, you can see the life vests in the cuddy up front (including one for the dog, who did not join us that day). Safety first, right?

Nice to see that you have them, but I'd wear them. On any dinghy, you can almost predict that the transition from sailing upright to being in the water will be sudden and unexpected. Just like no amount of "good driving" can guarantee to keep you out of a situation where you might need a seatbelt, a life jacket only works when (while) you wear it.

I often take kids on my boat, and those little guys have zero tolerance for adults that don't follow the rules so I have little choice but set an example for them.

now you need to run a line a pump from the cuddy to the bulkhead so that you can pour drinks under sail.

Those Daysailer's are real chick magnets, especially when they have cupholders! Lookin' good!
