Ms Fortune sails again!
The wretched hag has been on dry ground since '05. The last time I had her moved by boomtruck, I swore I wouldn't launch her again until I had it on a trailer. So, finally found a trailer last year.
Then this spring I set to work. New keel pin & brackets, which meant dropping the ~800lb keel. Also cut 4' off the mast, shortened the stays and made a stainless masthead. I also got a CDI furler and a custom genoa that wasn't really what I ordered, but nice just the same.
Anyway, it sits at the mooring now, after a world-class fiasco getting her launched. I am still waiting on the video of that. It was fantastic.
