Gez How many beers did I have before you shot that video !! OK it was the wind blowing my words back into my mouth :D :P :wink:

I was suppose to be the guest but ended up piloting the boat & crewing the sheets you'll notice , while lard a$$ was having a great time hiking out the S/B side we later went onto bringing the rudders outta the water :D :P :wink:

How'd you make out on Thurs !! when I did my pricing I bypassed the sales people & talked to Art the owner directly that was before the boat show on a Sunday afternoon ! their closed on Sundays. But I've know Art for over 4yrs now so we met to see if we could make a deal !! :) :wink:

Congratulations Dreamer..I guess dreamer no more eh! Looks like your getting a great boat! :D Last year .I sailed so much I sort of forgot to do a lot of work around the house. This year I just bought a 26M and hope to get a few of last years jobs done before sailing season. Sailing is just so much fun! Félicitation! :macm:

Highlander I'd love to meet up with you guys this year. Getting the etec from Dundas marine in Hamilton. My 10 yr old and I took sailing lessons this summer out of Humber sailing school. It was great. We live in Caledon just north of Brampton. I'm planning to trailer to lake Ontario, Georgian Bay and ?or wherever you guys think are the best spots. I'm going back to the show tomorrow morning looking for things like boat hook, fenders safety things anchor. By the way what size fenders do you use.
Quebec 1, Felicitations. This board's great isn't it?

I have the 8x20" or 8 1/2 x20" fenders I have the big "b" type fenders that are hollow down the center

I seen three pacs on sale at the show for $90 or $99

Dont know if I'd be wanting to carry an anchor around the boat show . I bought one last yr there & picked it up when I left still was a pain unless you got one of these 2 whl carts
