Sailed incredibly well as it wound it's way out past the weeds. I chose a feather for the tack she was to sail on. Bird feathers generate a huge amount of power so under sizing is the key. Expanded foam is very common and can have components pushed in very easily. Minuteman took a 'minute' and sailed against the tide and on a broad reach.
