Tenderly XP aka Lake Union Swift
I just discovered that my buddy, Kea Custom Boats, is building some Tenderly XP's for the Wooden Boat Center in Seattle, WA. I originally met him when he graciously allowed me to crash his Passagemaker class and pick his brain before my build. It looks like I may be doing some rigging for them. I'm super-excited about this prospect as I've always loved the XP. Once I get some of the details ironed out, I'll post what I come up with for the rest of the builders as my experience has been that rigging has historically been a challenge.

Very cool! I'm looking forward to the documentation. Bummer about your trip and the Wooden Boat Festival in Port Townsend. I used to be the Rigging Services Manager for West Marine in Seattle, so I'm looking forward to helping with anything they need.

We've got very specific rigging details for the Lake Union Swift. As early as this week, we're going to set up Hull #1 with the new aluminum-masted rig here at CLC, with careful documentation.
The plan since last year was that I was going to come out to Seattle myself to help with the rigging, though the Plague has complicated that.
As this will be a fleet of trainers, I think getting the rigging just right is mission-critical. I've done some trainer fleets before where the setup was fumbled and the boats fell into disuse as a result.
