Title: Picked up Eclipse
Post by: alsantini on May 09, 2014, 07:43:59 PM
Well, I am now the proud owner of a 2007 Eclipse.  Brought her home through terrible storms a week ago last Monday.  Did a little basic maintenance and launched her with two friends in Lake Mendota, Madison, Wisconsin.  The winds were really up but she performed as advertised.  I smiled the whole sail.  Next week she will go into a slip at BayView Marina on Pistakee Lake (part of the Chain of Lakes in northern Illinois)  Eventually she will be named "Off The Wind"

Congrats, Al. I really like the Eclipse and was surprised at how much room there is down below. Love the plumb bow...she looks very correct.
