Bloody Point Lighthouse, which marks the halfway point in the trip across the Bay. I'll be spending most of my free time in August getting to know how she sails in preparation for our first race in September. I'm always looking for experienced crew if your in the Chesapeake Bay area.
A look out into the Miles River (no it's not named after me) from her harbor slip - it's a very good spot as it allows for a very fast docking and undocking. The boat features a very nice and large cockpit and the boom is just above head height which means one only has to duck slightly when jibing and tacking as the boom comes across. It's still a solid piece of metal so one does have to duck if one wants to stay conscious during the cruise.
A look up the mast on a very light wind day. The boat's equipped with a self trimming jib boom and has a very efficient line layout.
The boat does have a removable table for the cockpit so I am anticipating a few games of "Sails of Glory" on the water - any takers?

She looks like a beaut, but I don't think you're showing us her best features. All ladies need to be photographed to their best advantage.
Show us her lines from abreast man!

The pictures are horrible - I've been focusing on learning how to manage her rather than take pictures!
Congrats
A lovely vessel indeed Skipper! Congratulations.
Fair winds and following winds to you and Bucentaur
