Preparing For the Longest Sail of the Year

 

The Typesetter Working on the New Forestay

 For the second time the Western Montana Small Boat Association is putting on it's long distance event on Flathead Lake, Smugglers Run. From Dayton To Somers taking most, if not all, of the day. Final work is being done on Kat Boat to ensure we're in good shape for the run. As planned the Fat Cat 2 does not have a forestay. With our heavier boom and larger sail it's become apparent that this is going to be a necessity. Final work will be done the day of the event but the rough parts are taken care off. Stocking the larder and prepping the electronics will take up the remanider of the day. 

 Plan is to star with the South Flathead Yacht Club race fleet and then go slow, go north. We've been in touch with the North Flathead Yacht Club and have secured overnight spots. Excitement is high.
