Our Coastal Cup setup

this had Nathan puzzled. 'This side up to the sky' cannot mean that it can be put on the ceiling (the velcro was on the other side of that)...yet, it wasn't super clear initially whether this was waterproof or not. Turned out to be fine.

Our transponder. SO much nicer than the Pac Cup ones! Slick, light, easy to store! (we put it on the stern, right under the tiller)


Our 'fix' - the rudder pin (helping attach the tiller to the rudder, there's a bunch of them but the key one was making a bid to freedom...We fixed that with some washers, duck tape and sail tie...)

Brand new engine for the times we need to motor for a while with a fuel intake!!! Bye bye the refueling every 45 minutes directly into the engine! This is heavier (and starts like a charm) so it won't be the engine that Elise will use to get to the start line at Bay event but definitely helpful for long distance motoring trips.

6.6 knots through the water...
