[Rhodes22-list] Fretless is sold

[Olivier Hecht]

I posted on Facebook but just in case some here aren't in that group...

I'm proud to say I'm the new owner of Fretless and she's back in the water...we'll be exploring the Rappahanock River with her starting near Urbanna and venturing further and further out hopefully to have as many adventures as possible. Mary Lou Troy and Fred were really great to deal with and learn from and I hope to care for Fretless as well as they did!  We took her out on the bay briefly before turning around due to high winds and waves so I've already successfully retrieved the boat back onto the trailer, lowered the mast and prepared for towing, towed her 200 miles without incident, and then raised the mast and re-rigged everything. Here's my favorite picture from our first short sailing trip and a link to some more on Facebook. We didn't get out until late afternoon after rigging, safety wiring, and taping everything up but now she's sitting rigged on her trailer by the ramp ready for a quick launch any time!
