September 1, a nice day, breeze about 5 knots, Mt. Rainier behind the port shrouds. Nice boat. |
Antoinette moored at Bill's Boat House on American Lake. |
Antoinette tied up behind Gust Rider |
Gust Rider is another Ranger 20 on American Lake. |
Above - sailing back to Bill's Boat house, downwind with the sails wing and wing. The little boat moves right along. Easily singlehanded. |
The dodger drops down out of the way while sailing. I'm still figuring out the running rigging. I need to make a short genoa forestay extension to get the tack of the genoa up a bit so the foot clears the rails. I've seen photos of other boats with the rail wires running down to the toerail, I may do that instead, haven't decided yet which way to go. |
