We don’t know about you, but it gives us a thrill to see a new boat finally out of the building shed. But hanging in the slings, the buzz is tempered by a nagging worry about where the boat will float.

At slow cruise here, about seven knots. Even though she is very light (hence the bow up trim) we think she looks cool.
