Unfortunately is doesn't look like we will have the boat ready for the Patos Island Classic coming up March 24.  This is a real disappointment for us as this was our objective all winter long.  The weather in March however did not cooperate as we were unable to find a window of time with calm conditions when we could step the mast.

Plus once we step the mast we have to spend a couple of days tuning the rig and making sure all the systems work as expected -- even then it is highly likely that there will be some issues that we have to deal with...

I guess we will have to wait for the 2013 Patos Island Classic...
