We wanted to try out some Minifish, to se whether we liked the lighter weight hull and smaller sail plan. Found a great deal on one in Kingsport and another nearby in Knoxville, fun road trip to pick them up.
Skipper took Bandit out for a test sail, she liked how it would get up on the chine and then stay there. Easy to lift, cockpit is a little tight.
Smoky's outhaul broke, so she wasn't out long.
Bandit had a small drain hole, not stock, so we enlarged it to add a bailer.
Sold Bandit to a local! They wanted a boat that would be easy to cartop.
Cleaned old tape stripes off of Smoky, wet sanded and waxed the deck.
Cleaned old adhesive with acetone.
31 May 2014: Replaced outhauls on Smoky and took her out for a test sail.
Room for 2 on the Mini.
