Ship Show — Sailing Log Took Ship Show out for a sail today with Justin, Ana rios, Paola, and Erik aboard. Erik brought extensive experience with the Ericson 27, so it was great to have him on board. We hooked up the jib for the first time and the sailing was wonderful, holding roughly a 45 degree angle. Based on that, we think we need a bigger jib. Out on the water for about four hours. A great day.

SHIP SHOW SAIL LOG Date: Sunday, May 24, 2026 Duration: 4.5 hours Harbor: Jackson Park Harbor Crew: Paola Ferrario, Justin Bowen, Anna Rios Conditions: Wind: 4-6 knots. Calm, light air day on the lake. Boat Status: Minor surface scratch on the bow from docking. Cosmetic only -- Puppy confirmed no damage. Docking was the challenge of the day; conditions weren't the issue, just still building that muscle memory. Highlights: - First time using the Magma grill underway -- worked perfectly. Spare ribs on the lake. Enough said. - Continued working on sail deployment; making progress and ready to attempt the Genoa next outing. - Close encounter with a powerboat that failed to yield. Horn blasted twice; they altered course. With 4-6 knots there was no ability to maneuver under sail, so the horn was the right call. Handled well. Next Steps: - Practice docking approach and slow-speed control - Attempt Genoa deployment next sail - Keep the grill in the rotation Mood: Shaken briefly by the dock scratch and the powerboat, but overall a beautiful, calm, happy day on the water with family.

Ship Show Sail Log IL 5727LA · Jackson Park Harbor · Lake Michigan May 14, 2026 Departure: ~6:00 pM Wind: Nice winds Overall: Good sail Incidents Got stuck in the marina on the way out; channel not fully dredged Possible propeller or motor contact with the bottom; no apparent damage, boat sailed fine Session Notes Despite the marina incident, was able to sail without issue Good wind conditions

We filled 8 gallons of gas today. we noticed we need a stick to measure the gas as we dont have a gas gauge. The fans in the boat work and we tested tge toilet, which isnt washing down, but it does suck it down. We also know now that the buttons on the door for the cabin hutch could be to add a weather cover or mosquito net.

10-15 knot wind, we were going to go try to sail, but, waves were too big and we forgot to check the gas, so we decided to come back. Great second sail, great docking excercise.
