First sighting of a Wraith

[qsiv]

Well - first outdoor sighting ...

She's haning from the crane, just above the cradle. The keel, has been test fitted (less the bulb) and is visible just aft of fwd cradle support (yes, it is a bit slender).

Neither rudder has been fitted yet - they might be in the next series of photos.

Is the pic visible?

Is it just me - or has the picture disappeared? It maybe that I cant see my web server from inside the firewall - or equally it maybe that it is all snafu'd

Looking good. I like the way the pulpit is helping keep weight out of the bows.

Certainly dont want to have it further fwd than required. I had rather forgotten just how slender the chord on the keel actually was - the concept of something that slender (plus the rudders) generating all the lift to prevent leeway is a bit scary - no wonder you have to keep the boat moving at all times. Also notice the difference in weather ...

You will of course be welcome to come and have a nose when she is back home in the 'new' marina ..

I was meaning in Jersey for Rich - you may prefer a Hamble visit if you're UK based!!

Well, actually I would much prefer Jersey, but... Hamble is more sensible!

The reason the keel strut looks quite so slender is that the fibreglass foil isnt in situ - when this is added the size of the keel increases markedly, and is nearly 12 inches deeep fore and aft.
