All those who have worked on Gretchen over the last three or so years will be very pleased to hear she is finally back in the water.  Once the rigging is sorted out and the lee boards fitted we can look forward to sailing her.  And after Gretchen the Flying Fifteen finally went back in.  Until her timbers take up she will be a bit leaky, as witnessed by the bailers in the picture below, and the her current 'low to the waterline' profile!
