Might not have been so clever to wait until the end of the season to finish her.

Even though I used to be a skilled dinghy racer, I definitely expect to get wet - a lot!
I haven't tried a sliding seat, either. I'm hoping it will be as easy as sailing from a trapeze. I used to singlehand my old 470 from the wire, and that was quite fun. It was a little wider than 30", though . . . .

I do have a collection of wetsuits, and a drysuit, so I should be OK for a while.
