Was considering adding a small spritsail to make her a Yawl. Also small fore
and stern decks, enough to place a beachball under for extra flotation.
Actually i was going to NOT use a JIB, just a square mains'le of same design
of drawing at about same Sq.Ft. as plans, just a tad smaller as we do get
some hellasious winds down here from time to time. I'd have a line from the
top boom end to pull her up quick to make a reef.
Now to convince Wifey to let me spend about $150.00 to set it all to
rights....
Lake Washington...here i come...
