Team Seacats

Several folks came by this evening to help put the Team Seacats I20 together. Travis and Courtney, Chris and Ann, Chris Zander, David and Robin, Tim and Kristen, and of course Bonnie pitched in to grill out some grub, put in some work on the boat, and shoot some pool. As far as the boat goes, we got the hulls assembled, the trampoline installed (thanks to Chris for putting in the ooomf in the lacing), the mast got stepped with the trapeze rigging. Naturally, we forgot to rig the spinnaker halyard at the top of the mast but we can deal with that later. We only wish that Frank (who is about 800 miles away at the moment) could have joined us.

Pictured here are Chris Owens, Chris Zander, and Tim Owens (no relation).

Tim Owens, David Strickland, Chris Zander, and me (trying to get into position before the flash goes off).

Now this is a more natural pose. Me on the left, Tim Owens (the man with the smile…and common sense), Chris Zander, and David Strickland. Strangly, Travis Phillips avoid all photos and Chris Owens missed most of them too. I’ll get them soon enough….(note: no animals were injured during the taking of this photo)
