Check out the photo of Eleanor with her new paint. She is all set below and above the waterline. She does need her boot stripe which will be added in the next two weeks. The original waterline was etched into the wood. We will follow that line. Also see list of articles we need before we can sail away. Select one and let us know which one or ones you would like to contribute. [email protected]

November 25. It was cold and windy but the volunteers set up shop at the Basillica. Typical sailing day; too much wind, no wind. Do you have to fear the wind? No just respect it.

Community volunteers examine the fit between the new rudder for Eleanor and the 2000 lb. keel. A new found photo of Eleanor - soon to be powered by the wind again. A smile and progress on Eleanor. One of our epic volunteers.

On Tuesday, March 21 at Wunderbar Bistro we will hold our 7th. Annual Reunion. 6:30 p.m. 744 Warren Street. Appetizers, stories, and benefit drawing for a stay at the Saugerties Lighthouse B and B. Stay for dinner (Dutch Treat) and do your own bragging about sailing. Trivia too. Try this question. Which one of Eleanor's fittings is named after a character from the Bible? Clue: it is located in the bow. If you know it, show up or let's have the answer now.
