PERFORMANCE

A quick build, with a poorly thought out ballast solution. I cut into the upper part of the milk bottle, so damaging its bouyancy integrity, the ballast was nudged forward as she sailed down wind and over a wave, the next few waves filled the hull with water, within 10 yards of the beach she was sunk out of site!
