Catching up on SUGAR 2 news. Cleaned the deck edge and cockpit trim and reinstalled.



Rigged a bridle and bow line.





Installed inspection port with #8 stainless machine screws, 1 1/2 inches secured by washer and nylon stop nut.


She moved out of the hangar for transfer onto the dolly.


Skipper's boat hoist works awesome, we added Sunfish blocks and cleats to tidy up the line handling, we use 2 Sunfish mainsheets with the bronze snap shackles.


WINNIE let SUGAR 2 borrow her dolly.


Sea Trial Report, SUGAR 2 went out under the Skipper's steady hand, hesitant for about 10 seconds as to what the wet stuff under her keel was and confused by the fact that she had all of her parts. She caught a little puff and shot away from the shore in a light breeze.


















SUGAR 2 took a break then I jumped in for ghosting practice!


She tacked with ease around the bay and gybed beautifully. The sail set nice and her colors were amazing, should be easy to spot.

Bravo Zulu to SUGAR 2, she was very patient and she is now part of our Armada!
