April 2004 Meeting Photos:

Another great day. Good sailing breezes. Several maiden voyages as well as the introduction to our new portable dock. I should take better notes. Please email me for proper credit on any new boats shown.

New Helen in the water. Belongs to David G.  Also the maiden voyage for the Vac-U-Tow.  Got to rescue a Hydro the first time out. Extra horsepower with the 12 volt batteries came in handy.

Our new dock! Joint venture. The designer, framer, and adjustable-leg guy (David) is shown. I added the deck, paint & trim.  Maiden voyage of another Helen. I forget who the owner is..... Ken and Ray sailing.

Doug cutting doughnuts. David with his new Helen out of the water... Next, we need to rig a boat lift for the dock. Tug's first rescue. A mysterious fast electric Paul's boat. When it was towed to shore, no one claimed it.

Dock's name is "What's Up?" No name plate yet though. What a nice turnout. Need larger tables.

Doug's new cruiser. Should look like this one day. Lobster boat in progress.

David G's Helen out on its maiden voyage with a tiny football player on the foredeck.  I get it. He is a "Buccaneer". (Ouch!) Nice deck planking! Recovered Ray's sailboat. Missed the dock though.

See the two little guys on the deck. I wonder what they are talking about. Why do scale figures always look mad at something? Casey slowing down in the no-wake zone.

Doug's boat again.  Too small to see. Ken in the water.

Two people on the dock at the same time. Good design David! Lou brought a few of his BB shooting warships. Says he will be back with reinforcements. Nice main gun with adjustable elevation. I think I can fit it into a tugboat!

Chris has the hull/keel thing figured out. Nice look. Paul's Jet Duck rides again.  Another mysterious fast electric Paul's boat towed to shore.
