Official LA ID Number for the Wind Ketcher


Well, she is official. Two Louisiana Fish and Wild Life agents came by Friday to inspect the boat. They gave me the official ID number.
Before they arrived I installed the Boston Bailer. A little bit of water leaked into the boat on her maiden voyage, so I needed a way to get the water out! The good news, the boat's sealed compartments did not leak at all. The only leaks seem to be coming from the rudder area, an easy fix. I will be putting the letters and name on the boat this next week. She will be called the Wind Ketcher. Hope to catch a lot of wind with my little ketch. I'm still looking for volunteers ready to go out and learn to sail with me...
