Took SCOUT out this morning with just the gaff main and a kayak paddle, winds 4-6 mph. Paddled upwind for about 20 minutes then raised the gaff. Turned and ran downwind, sat midships and steered with the paddle, gybed and even got through a tack with the help of the paddle. We could hold a beam reach without losing too much ground.
Rigged the mizzen.
Canoe with a boomkin!
Mizzen sheet jam cleat with a fairlead.
We went with the free footed mizzen and boomkin so we can furl the mizzen easily.
Skipper's leeboard design, repurposed Sunfish rudder and gudgeon. She'll be able to control it from the stern seat.
Clark's leeboard design, variant of a Sunfish daggerboard. We'll try them out one at a time and see which one we like.
