I know, I know, it has been a while, life sometimes gets in the way. But to day I took delivery of a newly painted Wellcraft Nova 230 XL, finally. It sure was worth the wait, these guys are not just painters they are artists. Other than son Blair and I fairing the work we have done, the paint job it pretty much as the hull came from the manufacturer. We had a late addition of a bowsprit, I decided I needed auto anchoring. I am very, very happy with the paint, now to start rigging. :-)

BUT somethings never change and some problems never go away and just keep reoccurring !!so moved into Composite Forensics , Now that something completely new !!

I'm on vacation this week so I spent the last couple of days reading this Entire thread. And...I'm glad I did. What an inspiration to me and my projects! With all you've been thru the last few years it's a testament to you and your family. We hope all continues to progress to your liking and that your wife is progressing positively as well.

Thankyou for your kind words and apologies for the late reply. One of the changes in our lives has been a major change in work/recreation balance. We have just got back from a 3 week ship cruise around Australia. Boat finally back in the shed awaiting rigging and I have to leave town to go cruising.
All about earning brownie points so boat time can happen. :-)

Well, SJ, that's quite an adventure. I need to maintain a better balance, too. With that in mind I'll take a page from your playbook, so to speak...We're gonna go to the UK this fall & tour. It'll be our 40th anniversary a week from today- and the only thing she wants is to travel and make memories. So off we'll go! (Earning brownie points, too...)

Looks great!
Keep at it, little by little and you’ll get there.I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.
