I finally put the boat in the water and everything went well (it did not sink). I even had a stowaway (mouse). The keel worked well as did the rudder. I think my main is a bit stretched out of shape or at least the stop on the mast is too high. I am thinking of lowering the stop to see if the main can be pulled tighter. The outhaul seems to be at it's furthest but there is still a lot of slack in the main. The jib worked well. I have not tried the genoa yet. The season for my local lake lasts until October 31 so I plan on sailing as much as I can until then. The carpet on the trailer runners fell to pieces after they became wet so I will have to replace them.
