Having gotten the boat onto the trailer a few days ago, we decided to try a first test of PocketShip in the water. Since we live in a floating house in a pond in the middle of our land, and we built PocketShip in a tent on the side of the pond, in only made sense to try floating it in the pond before taking it to a lake or ocean for a first sailing test.
After climbing aboard and trying out a number of operations (opening and closing the cabin doors, tying up, etc), we made a list of the minor issues we found and decided to take it back out of the water to make the apartments.
This is Terry Otis from Chesapeake Light Craft. We are all following your progress with great interest. Congratulations on the launch! Keep up the great work.
Cheers, Terry.
