Old or New Shoe
I've liked the Old Shoe ever since I saw one sailing in Oklahoma.
I've never sailed one.
I had no idea how it handles.
After reading the comments I'm under the impression it's not a clean nor close tacker.
Slipping Lee a little bit versus a lot can be a problem.
From a distance I could not tell but am under the impression it's flat bottom.
I did not see flair in the sides.
I designed all my boats and my closest pointer has flaired sides but so does my worst pointer.
However, I'm under the impression I'm of the opinion some designs with slab sides slip less.
