Latest Modifications to Sea Angel.
I have added a Michalak designed weighted leeboard and rudder, Rope
perimeter steering system, and fore and aft storage/buoyancy
compartments to Sea Angel. She looks better and they have been
tested and work well. Anyone interested in seeing the latest mods
can go to the Featherwind page and click on the "Rudder and Leeboard
Mods" link. Here's the URL.

These make the boat much more "Skipper friendly" She will stay on
course now hands off. Future projected mods include a jib, better
mainsheet cleating system and a full wet bar. Just kidding about
the last one!
I plan to take her out on Sunday with two others aboard and see how
she handles the weight. Light winds lately here on Bohol, Phils so
it will be a good day for testing stuff.
Smooth sailing to all,
Steve.
