T - a couple of days

I'm getting ready to launch Rapscallion. I'm replacing the muffler on the little red motor. The exhaust always leaked a bit, I finally found the leak, after it got a bit worse. I'm painting the mast, boom, and deck too. I also made a new rub rail out of a blend of EVA and HDPE. Working in polymers helps at times. I like the goo! The season hasn't started yet and I already miss racing her. The little rascal is ready though, and the First 8 has a new suit of sails, a smooth belly and a razor sharp keel. All I need now is a vacation, a little drink with an umbrella and a nemesis!
