Up early this morning. Inserted the battens in the new sails. Then rolled them up.

The jib and main are in the bags! Ready for on-loading in the raceboat hauler. Only three days before I leave for the Y-Flyer Midwinters in Columbia, South Carolina!

Today was the last full day of getting the boat inside the carrier. Still a few things left to do but all the heavy work is done. The shelving that came inside the van was removed and installed inside the hauler.

The boat fits inside perfectly with extra space in the front.

The van is hooked up and parked in the driveway. Even if it snows again before Thursday I should be able to drive right out and head south.

Y-Flyer Midwinters in just 5 days.

The new electric winch is now installed in the trailer. It will be used to pull the Y-Flyer into the trailer. The Y sits on it's own dolly.
Now to bolt in the shelving units and load up for the trip to Columbia, SC.
