The Windrider is in and rigged and looking good.

Of course, neither outboard would start, though each was winterized by Berry boats, though of course that was two (or three) years ago. (I suppose that if you sit neglected for such a long time the get up and go, goes.) As a result, today’s sail was powered by paddle and wind, which is more fun.

The mast-raising a-frame gin-pole made by Bob Habes’ friend worked perfectly. Easy up and (presumably) easy down. So easy, in fact, that even one person could do it, though it was good to have Wolf helping as we learned. The device is now loaned to Wolf and Patrick as an inducement to the their WR17 in the water.
