Hey, where are your flotation devices, horn and whistle??? Bad boys! Here come the ticket for 250 bucks. Oh yea, a center board and rudder might help some what. Nice work though. Once you get all that set up it will do better into the wind. Cheers!

@badmoonryzn we had life jackets but weren't wearing them,and there was a rudder on the right side you just can't see it,it was from the sailboard I got the sail from ,as for the rudder it was just a paddle hinged with rope on the rear ,I wish I would have spent more time on that though it took 2 hands to steer.

Cool. But you needed leeboard. I'll wait to see more from you.
