    Nice!
    VT mud, indeed.
    No credit for the nice fiddle music?

    Once ready do you plan on launching in Lake Champlain?

      WOW , I am impressed. What a vessel. What a huge propeller. Nice cutaway forefoot on the keel. You now have a small ship. A bit of info on design and age would be nice. And the rig ?

      Very enjoyable , thank you. CK

        I think It's too big for Champlain... that'll be the Ericson!

        I heard that Kompier was a top-of-the-line shipyard in Holland.

        Music is New Country by Sam Bush... we sam him in a concert a while ago and he was great!

        Maverick is a ketch, so two masts, and is from 1981. She was designed by a man named Herman Tingen...

        that's just about all I know without digging way into the paperwork!

            Great !!

            Ebben and Jay,

            Well, isn't that something. Your guys will remember this forever. In time, both of you will be telling your grand kids about Windsong ... and her story. You might even still have her! So cool that Hanley had a block. Outstandling....this is what it is all about. I'm so impressed.

              I may have missed a few episodes.
              What is the current state of the Ericson Repowering and restoration.

              Has that project completed or abandoned for now?

                  We're back again!

                  Now for the A4...

                  We finally got the block back, and parts came, and we put the crankshaft, oil pump, rings, and pistons in today!

                  Here are some pictures..

                  Stay tuned! there's more to come...

                        It runs! After months of putting it back together (on and off) it is finally running.. not well... but it still runs!

                        I took a movie and I am putting it together now.

                        Thanks for all the help, everyone!
