It...I'm happy to have come across this blog! It's great to see her out where she belongs instead of sitting unfinished in a slip or on a lowbed trailer, which is where I last said goodbye. Did you get the album of construction pictures when you bought her? It showed her from a pile of steel in a dirt lot in Wilmington to launch. I may still have copies of some of the pictures. Silver Lining was right beside her. Chanteyman was launched first, Silver Lining a couple days later. Glad you like the electrical system. Sitting on top of the engine and doing the wiring was actually one of my favorite jobs building her. As I recall, she was over-pitched on the prop, wouldn't go above 2200 rpm but would still do about 8 knots. <br />Cheers,<br />Chris Welton, Master, R/V Robert Gordon SproulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
