S/V TETRA ...A CP23 Story

[K3v1n]

After 10+ months of cleaning and repairs/upgrades she is ready for the water! [not that everything is done mind you. ]

With the help of Bob23 and my brother John we get her ready. The Admiral(Lesa) was in charge of the food.

Great video.  I've looked all over the internet to try and find a video of someone raising the mast on a CP23.  Yours may be the first.  Seems pretty straight forward. Thanks

The boat looks great for a 1983.

Good luck.

And although the two characters shown raising the mast both have less than perfect shoulders, no humans were harmed in the making of this video.

This video has confirmed that Pizza and Beer is a requirement in the annual mast raising ceremony universally - however a voice on the video mentioned she "couldn't believe it could take 2 hours" - we are just getting warmed up at the 2 hour mark - take it all in; then do several things over again the correct way because I forgot how.  Part of the allure of sailing - slow down and enjoy!

Glad to see you in the water.  Good job on the video and editing the video.

I can't wait to see your new adventures!

The fun continues as Bob and I get her ready for the Travel Lift.

Denaming/Renaming Ceremony

It looks like you guys had fun.  That was a good video and I like your intro.  I may have to come up with an intro for Saga now after seeing yours.

I am glad that you are in the water!

Great video and glad you will finally be able to enjoy your good ship S/V Tetra!

P.S. I never knew that Guinness can be used for wood polish. Great tip!

If you had a bike on board you'd be Tetra cycling. How asymbiotic.

Enough with the punishment, Tim.

I'm fairly sure you will have to do it again.  You made a fatal error.  You mentioned your next boat during the renaming of your current boat.  Very bad luck can only come from that.

To make amends you will have to use a wine that is twice as expensive and substitute caviar for the White Castle fare.

Hey K3vin,
Interesting that you should mention re-naming, cause we just did that thus past weekend, I left previous owner's  boat name on hull, then talked  with wife to ask what she would like,
all our "pet" nicknames seemed fine, but she was too skiddish on possible embarrassment when/if my buddies ask "what was that about, so", so we settled on a oft used term she uses referring
to our small condo home, the little cubby hole .
And shizaam! I said yes it fits, as my old CP23 has those stoggy round port holes, so ya get it ?

'Dinghy Daze ~Part III'

We finally unbox our Takacat Lite we purchased down at the Annapolis Sailboat Show and blow her up with a quick 'Pool trial'.
