Its been really busy this past month. Work and other obligations have kept me out of the new boat. This Memorial Day weekend is my first chance to try it out. First order of business was to run new foot control cables.
Second was to try out my set of yellow amas I acquired with the Kruger Cruiser. Sometimes I think rigging a boat for the first time is like putting together a puzzle. Lots of testing pieces where they don’t fit. Chief also did a lot of customization to the boat. Like anything you get second had some of it is great, some is hard to figure out and other things you choose to do your own way.
Next was to get out on the water. Unfortunately by the time I had the boat rigged the wind had substantially died off. It had been white caps earlier in the day but now all I could muster was a few gusts. Still enough for my brother to take some pics.
Amas do not mount perfectly symmetrical. I chose to mount them with the extra flotation aft. Not sure if this will be the best choice but it did tack nicely in this configuration.
