Yes, she (Dolly-T) rows very well, in fact the wind, what there was of it died altogether and dad rowed her the last mile back to the mooring. The rowing position is actually forward of the centreboard.No ,certainly the centreboard should be raised when rowing and the boom raised up as much as possible using the topping lifts.
More freeboard than imagined? - No she's built exactly to the plans, I suppose not having a contrasting sheer strake might make her look higher sided ?!

She looks to have more freeboard than I imagined. Just as well, I
guess, as Story's sailing area can be rough as well as calm.

My Father and I went for a sail yesterday in his 'Harbinger' 15'
Catboat "Dolly-T".
There was hardly enough wind so my brother, Dominic towed us down
river behind "Merlin" so we could gently sail back with the tide to
the moorings.
The wind was very light. You can see in the photos that there wasn't
enough to stretch the wrinkles out of the sail!
She moved though and even in the light airs tacked beautifully!
The only hassle we had was when the cop boat came and hassled us
about not wearing life jackets!
It was quite a pleasant way to spend an early winter's afternoon!
The pictures are in the files section of Bolger5 group in the
folder "Dolly-T" Sailing pictures
