and is boomless. pulls really well.
A small jib was added for the fun of it.
In a good blow we pullout the mizz , drop the jib, lay over the boat
almost to the rails and she hoots along .photos of the ketchcan be

OK so Idont know how to do it properly.
It was heaps of fun making all this stuff. Windsprint would be
perfect to play with this kind of thing.

No, but have you considered the new roll on pick-up truck bed liner
stuff. One is even water based, yet they all harden to a thick, tough
textured vinyl. Try Gator Guard or Rhino Liner availble at good truck
accessory stores.
