Beautiful boat! What a pleasure to watch her sail. You did fine work. I must say, I spent the first full minute grinning from ear to ear: I have a Peep Hen with Lazy jacks and Gaff and have the same struggle nearly every launch. If you find the secret, please let me know! Meanwhile, Enjoy!
Excellent wee boat. Enjoyed watching her first sail. May there be many more enjoyable days on the water with her. Cheers Trev. PS I sail a home made Outred Shearwater gaff rigged 12 footer in ACT, Australia.
@@survivingentropy I sail a 12 ft balanced lug dinghy. Over 4 seasons and 70+ launches I have tried many "simplifications" which have made things more complicated. My best solution at the moment is to step the mast, then attach the foot of the sail to the boom and thread the reefing lines, then attach the halyard and hoist the sail. I have not yet tried lazy jacks because I can imagine them causing as many new problems as they solve. I love your boat, by the way. Characterful and practical.
