How Does the Minisail Sail?

The OK rig would drop right in... And then rip the decks right off, I expect!

And finally, I got to take the Frankenboat racing. Oddly, in the pretty big breeze that we had, she sailed better than either of the donor boats would have done, I think. Was well up there on the water, and having split the difference of the Minisail and Lightning to come up with a handicap (1190) was winning the races on the spreadsheet, too, though I asked to be ruled out of the actual final placings. Sadly, rupertson couldn't be there to give me a Lightning to race against. Maybe next time!

Meanwhile, Karen Collyer kindly took some photos. It would look better with my new Lightning sail, rather than a 25 year old one, I expect! Not getting it, though - in fact, I have a new Minisail sail on order from our own Ian Morgan.

Originally posted by Rupert Once I get my wooden hull out of our friend's barn I'll try the rig on that and see how it goes, maybe do a race or two, and report back.

I suppose that in relation to geological or indeed 56-year Minisail time, things are moving along quite quickly, Rupert

That looks surprisingly reasonable
