Launch & Boards Autumn 2009
A few more photos of the boards, keel, rudder etc before launch in October 2009. No sailing so far this year sadly! Sanded and repainted the boot topping in a hard antifouling paint. Will see if it stays in better nick this year! Photos include shots of the boards fully extended for maintenance and in the approximate maximum operational position.
