Great to see Pete on the water.  Not one, but two junk rigged cats at once!!

The boat looks superb (would it be any other way from Pete?).  The rig very interesting, looks like it still needs some fine tuning to set up well, hours of fun ahead.  What does look suprising, especially when used to seeing heavy displacement yachts, is how small the rig (s) is.

Looking forward to hearing some sailing report.

Oryx was launched 2 weeks ago and I have been very busy getting everything together and working. A few problems with the sails which needs some restiching. Hope to be able to go for a sail by the weekend.  I have put some photos of the launch in the photogallery.

No you don't, Gary. Our previous boat (Sunbird 32 Matania) came as a bare hull. I'd just about finished her by the time we sold her nearly 30 years later. Mind you we did a lot of the work underway.... 

Great to hear that Oryx has been launched. I saw her at the Summer rally in June and she was looking good then. Look forward to seeing some photographs. I agree totally with your sentiment Gary about building your first boat. Malliemac has been 10 years in building, although not full time, and she should be launched in a few weeks. It seems 2012 is going to be a good year for new and refurbished boat launches. Robin Blain launched his new boat Gigi at the East Coast rally last weekend.
