Sailing on Galveston Bay with our Goat Island Skiff, named GIR. If you are interesting in building your own boat check out: www.storerboatplans.com.
Michael Storer is the designer of the Goat Island Skiff and has other designs as well.
One of the things to watch for in this video is how we change our positions because the boat was rolling to windward too much. After we moved apart and on opposites sides of the boat, she settled down and sailed much nicer.
Also at the end we sail the boat backwards with the mizzen sail and dock the boat.

Of course you want a mizzen Simon! It is pretty and super functional. Santa can come in the form of a kit from my shop. GIR, here, started as a kit in Maine!

I firmly believe that the forward mast step is necessary to help the boat track properly. With the mast in the normal location with mizzen up the mizzen would over power the rudder too quickly. When the mast is in the forward step she sails much nicer as a yawl.

Sweet! My son and I just watched your video for the first time. His comments were and I quote, "look dad that is Santa with one of his elves taking a vacation from the north pole". Beautiful!

Do the fenders help to avoid tipping? Or are they there for gunwale protection?

John, I love the color on GIR! Is it epoxy? What is the color called. I'm building an Mikesbaot and would love to use it. However I plan to use epoxy paint on The boat. Is it available in Epoxy? thank you!
