Regatta race day

The boat is complete but has not been tested. We have decided to wait until regatta day and hope for the best as opposed to not having a boat because it went deep six.
We loaded the boat on Karl's trailer Friday evening and took it to the clubhouse for a send-off party. Any reason for a party here at DWLO.
The boat performed very well in the water, very stable, however the steering oar was too long and I could have left more room in the stern since we decided not to use a drummer. Those item we can address next year. We can also test the boat before the regatta since we have the confidence of our first successful build behind us.
The ladies won 3rd place and the boat won Judge's Choice Award. Our cheering section was the best at the event! Thanks to all who supported this community project!
