Stander hoisted
On May 2, the Stander was hoisted at the club. Unfortunately I was not there, because I broke my fibula past weekend. Luckily, there are so nice people who then take care of Fuchur, so it does not look so naked in the mast.

Now the hull is finished. 2 x antifouling, new water pass and contour tape for a nicer look. I waxed and polished the freeboard. Now I am only missing the deck and then on Saturday it goes back into water – GREAT !!!
