Thanks for the pictures. I've saved them to my ideas folder. It's getting large.

Kathy,
I seem to remember the boat name. did you ever launch in Biscane Bay at South Dade Marina, FL or Black Point to Meet up with the West Coast Trailer Squadren?
Or maybe at Beer Cruise 2007.Or Cayo Costa?

I haven't been on this forum in a long time (couldn't remember my name and password). I'm glad to be back, and glad I found this thread.
My husband/Captain of Thistle Dew is in fact Shawn and yes we did trailer down from Ontario Canada with our friends on Teliki and Windrush for BEER 2015.
Thankyou for the lovely pictures of our boat
We had a wonderful time at BEER - it was over far too soon. We hope to go back someday.
My husband did the custom platform and helm seat for our MacX. The seat suffered a bit on the road on the way home, but the Captain fixed it up quite nicely and she's ready to go for our next cruise on the North Channel of Georgian Bay next week.
We changed out the seat last year after the original seat fell and bonked me on the head - it was way to heavy to lift, and unsafe if you have to lift it up as your coming out of the water. The new seat is hinged in the middle so it can lifted on the ladder said. The back rest is attached separately on the opposite side of the ladder, and swings right out of the way so it can't fall back.
We decided to put the deck in because the new to us boat had scratches on the cockpit floor that were bugging the Admiraland so that when you come up the ladder you're not at risk of stepping on or tripping over the linkages - also made it easier for our crazy boat beagles to get on and off the boat.
I will try to load a couple close ups of the back deck and the seat, if I can figure out how :p

Re: 2015 B.E.E.R. Cruise
Sorry DaveB. We sailed Pensacola in March of 2008, and Lake Champlain in 2011, but other than that we've kept north of the border.
But those sound like great places to check out.
