Comments: Very responsive and quick. Take along a couple of extra life jackets to sit on for more comfort. Construction of boat was featured in WoodenBoat #96, #97 & #98.
In getting underway, hoist the mainsail before the jib. The jib halyard should be just tight enough to cause the forestay to go a bit slack. In lowering the sails, drop the jib before the mainsail; it’s an indication of good seamanship and helps prevent the boat’s bow from blowing off downwind after you’ve picked up the mooring.
