Launch of GIESTA
By Gaspar Queiroz #1119 "Giesta" (1ar)Dear duckers,
I undertook this project during my paternity leave, and finally took it for a spin.
I won't detail the construction process, the mistakes, nor what i would do different today in this article.
My kids were really excited about the boat, and wanted to participate as much as possible.
They chose the name 'Giesta' from a children's song, which refers to a common european shrub: the green heather (erica scoparia).
we had a small cerimony, my wife said a few words and christened the boat by breaking a champagne bottle on the side.
After a few small dents into the hull and also trying to break it against a nearby rock, we decided to simply shoot the cork and have a toast!
it sails!! next step i want to shorten the tiller has it very obviously gets in the way :)
I'd like to leave a word of praise and love for my family, especially my wife!, who took upon herself chores and tasks that allowed me to devote time to finish this project
