What an oddball. An almost hull free creation. It sailed surprisingly well. The theory here was that the half bottle located at the rear of the rudder shaft would add to the effect of the rudder and be weightless in the water but if she tried to tip forward in a gust and the half bottle lifted it would of coarse attain weight and hold her down. It sailed surprisingly fast but didn’t get to far before it tipped forward and the big floppy sheet sail dug into the water. This was in the days before I had developed the self righting tech seen on The Steve Kamper, Wood if I Cood and This Is Ship to name a few.
