My new-found sailing friend John took a couple pics for me today. Cell phone pics doctored up on the computer a bit – best I’ve got for now. Thanks John.

3rd time is a charm
Completion dateJune 10th, 2013OK - my third go at a completion date! This time it's for real. I want to be fully done and sailing by this date. That'll be 16 months build time................. And I made it with one day to spare! Not that I was trying - it just worked out that way -kinda funny!
Met you at La Due today. Contact me and I will forward the pics I took. jamesjstumpf@gmail.com
Thanks Jim

Hi Tim, she is a great looking boat! I love that hull form, and you’ve done a great job building her. Those sharpies really are as fun to build as they are to sail! How’s her balance without that foresail deployed?

Burton Blais
Doug Hylan crab skiff “Jackrabbit”
I haven’t tried her out except under full sail since I launched back in June (I think it was…)
Haven’t had a need to reef yet.
I’d like to see your “Jackrabbit” Got any pics or a blog up?
Thanks for commenting.
Tim
