Hi 67viggen! Thanks for your comments! This was built 10 years ago from pine plywood and still in good condition. I get more and more satisfied to the boat's sailing properties! It can stand all wind conditions, easy to sail and fast! I will put some more videos, but it could take to next summer. Meanwhile I want look your videos of your boat on the big waters!! Good luck, Rauli

Hi rauliparkkli,

Search my user name, I just added another movie "Moving right along" I'm sure you'll like.

I agree, It is an amazing design. I sail in long Island Sound and I've been caught in some high wind and waves and my boat always surprises me with it's stability.

The Mizzen sail has saved me a couple times in big wind gusts.

Mine will be 14 years old in September.

Best regards,

Darren
