This is a series of photos of Fall Line's arrival in Marblehead, MA at Eastern Yacht Club on August 17, 2002.

Ken from Colgate trailered the boat from FL. Ted Squire (Right Colgate #152 owner) was extraordinary in his help to get her ready to race in the PHRF NE's. It would have been impossible without his unselfish giving of his time.

Steve is not bashful in letting everyone know who is here.

As you can see she came with a beautiful upper body finish.

The keel looks ok but it was very rough.

Almost had the feel of a golfball surface. Not fast going through the water as a foil.

Many hours of sanding were needed to smooth out the keel's surface. The thin coating got removed exposing the 1040 pounds of lead in the keel.

The keel doesn't look pretty but it is a lot faster that the delivered product. Still has BIG ridges where the lead meets the fiberglass.

In the foreground is Colgate 26 just behind her is my 23' Sonar MOMENTUM.

There she is in profile. A beauty!

Another view of Colgate 26, Fall Line.

Here is a close up of the sterns of both the Colgate 26 & my Sonar in the EYC dry sailing area.

FAll Line & Sonar, MOMENTUM showing the full masts of each.

Both the keels & the rudders are quite different.

Right is Colgate 26 and left is 23' Sonar, MOMENTUM. Both are ready & anxious to get into the water & race!
