I launched Wing & a Prayer on Saturday and was even able to go for a sail with my family. Great day on the river and we all came home with sunburns!
Thanks to all on the forum for kind (prior) comments and encouragement. I am happy with the results and am looking forward to enjoying my repairs to the fullest!
Here is the mast tied in place, ready for the trip to the boat ramp.
Wing & a Prayer has just launched. This was certainly a less stressful evolution than the haul-out!
And here is the boat under sail, with me and my family. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.
Nice job! And congratulations on the fruits of your labor. I hope you get to enjoy her in the water as much as you got to "enjoy" the work.

Thank you all for your kind words. It's great to be back on the water and, with no disrespect to those still working on their boats, great to be done with this huge project.
