After a four month Katrina induced delay, we are getting ready to enjoy sailing once again. Otra Vez is currently being commisioned by Murray Yacht Sales at the Sintes yard in New Orleans. We've had her out twice already to check out sails and systems and I hope to have her out again on the weekend of the 20th.

Otra Vez is being set up to race first and cruise second. Her new set of Carbon/Technora D4 membranes will be delivered by West Wind sails of Mandeville, LA in late January or early February and will be the first sails of the type on the lake. In addition, I was lucky to pick up some second-hand North 3DL sails from Stanton Murray at a good price.
