I spent so much time making this, about three hours, I missed a serious technical design fault. The centre of balance was completely out of...balance. The keel too far back and mast too far forward, forcing her so far up wind she was virtualy slipping sideways. The mast was also too heavy. She looked great though. I hope if ever it’s found, the fault will be spotted and adjusted...?
