Wishing I didn't have to ship this beautiful #calendarislandsyawl off to it's new home this week. Great launch last week. Every thing is just right about this design. She's fast, seaworthy, and hard not to stare at. And even a beginner can build their own! #ciysailing #sailandoar #buildyourownboat https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzk-P80ACQ0/?igshid=xfmld57a2666

Another snippet from the #ciysailing launch with my silly kids. They were playing with my phone as we set up the boat, so when I went to take the first video of the launch, this is what I got.....LOL. sound up, it's funny https://www.instagram.com/p/BziQRQbgOoO/?igshid=7qp77ou655dm

This #calendarislandsyawl is ready for sea trials. We'll bend the sail and do that Tuesday if there is wind. Have a great long weekend and imagine relaxing on your own boat like this! #boatkits #sailboatkit #sailandoars #ciysailing (at Chase Small Craft) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx5RAQ2AVQn/?igshid=1qa9txbzbw25y

Final shot of the weekend of a #calendarislandsyawl leaving her on a mooring after some great sea trials. This pic shows the beautiful transom with pass through tiller. Was also able to row around and moves great with the oars I've spec'd for the boat. I would have no qualms about rowing her to find the wind. Under sail when the gust comes, the secondary stability kicks in and she goes #CIYsailing #CIYinMaine (at Falmouth Foreside, Maine)

Nick built a #calendarislandsyawl for his first boat and is vacationing in Maine with his family. Today we'll be sailing ina seabreeze and I look forward to getting to know this design of mine a little better #CIYsailing #sailandoar #buildyourownboat (at Falmouth Foreside, Maine)

Congratulations Nick! His #calendarislandsyawl was his first boat! He'll be up im Maine next week and you'll be sure to see a happy builder and family sailing on Casco Bay. We'll tune the rig, tweak things and get sailing #CIYsailing (at Lake Wallenpaupack Estate, Pennsylvania)
