Yes if feels great! I still need to finish the mast, leeboard and rudder,
maybe this weekend problem is it is the beginning of the fall semester and I
have to prepare for the classes I will be teaching. There is a mess-a-round
on Lake Monroe in southern Indiana the weekend of September 22-23rd and I
hope to have Das Box ready to sail by then.
