SPARTAN is in...

[Adam Langerman]

The mast will be stepped this week to check rigging dimensions, etc.   I will try to post pics later today...  Adam L

PLEASE do ... I have been waiting for this.  I am glad to see the problem with the spars seem to have been resolved.

[Adam]

How far along is the hull now? What was the "issue" with the spars?

[Adam Langerman]

My spy in Mystic is having computer issues so hasn't been able to e-mail the pictures........

[Steve]

Adam L ... Is she in the river at Mystic Shipyard?

Adam:  MPG was having trouble with some delamination of the glued up mast in the not-too-distant past.  Looks like thay have it resolved.

[Adam Langerman]

Yes

Thanks.  Looks great, doesn't it?

The spar went in today, for a few minutes anyway.  I was told it was impressive...

[Steve]

Thanks, gents.  That is one nice looking boat.

[Adam]

WOW....She really is something....When are they thinking of an official launch date - next Spring?

[Adam Langerman]

Yes, she will be hauled and put in the shed at Mystic Shipyard for the rest of the winter. 

Unofficially, we hope to include SPARTAN on the 2010 Classic Yacht Symposium boatyard tour.

That would be a real treat ... I hope you can make that happen.
