After another winter on the hard and under cover the Redwing was launched for the season. A much earlier start than last year. Last year was the complete refurbishment. This year there was still work to be done including repairing a gouge in the hull from a mishap last season, repainting the topside which I scratched all up last season, epoxy coating and varnishing all the bright work, installing a roller furler for the headsail, and ordering new sails.
