At this point in the project, I would like to inform readers about purpose. The project began with an inexpensive used dinghy.
In a joint-owned cooperational team effort between Colin and Lisa, and with additional help from the landed gentry, we intend to refurbish and modify Lido 5029 and, "Get 'er race ready"!
Colin and Lisa plan to race the boat in several regattas culminating in the Lido class nationals for 2010.
The intention is to have everything finished and the boat in the water January 1, 2010 for a frostbite regatta.
This blog can be referenced freely. If anyone has a question or comment, please post a note and I'll be happy to respond. If you'd like to post any pictures or words in a published work, please ask.
We are not trying to make the boat into a great beauty, but where performance, weight, strength, and safety are concerned, the aim is to optimize within the rules.
-Colin

Colin -
ReplyDeletesweet project. Looks like you're doing it right - I'll have fun following your blog through the winter.
Can't wait to have you and Lisa out on the course with us.
