      Hi Builders,

      I started building my version of Oonagh in November and I finished her last week. I launched and sailed her this Saturday on a local lake. It was a beautiful sunny day with winds from 5-10 knots. I’m happy to report that in these conditions she sails like a dream, scooting along effortlessly in light air. She accelerated and healed nicely in a few brief puffs. It’ll be fun to see how she handles in a breeze!

      I’m happy to answer any questions that those of you still building my have. Best of luck!

      Thanks Tim, your boat looks mighty fine as well.
      Hope you get in soon. I’m off sailing again this afternoon.

      Boat looks great, I think we have the same green.  I also got my sail from Doug Fowler.  I grew up in Wolcott near Waterbury.
