Entirely self designed and built at 8' by 4' her owner/builder Danny Smith describes her as "Basically a floating tent."
He told me:
"I did a lot of research before I built her.
The boat & rig were designed together as an experiment & it all works very well.
Rigging it takes a while & you better not get lines tangled as the mast is stepped but once set up it is very easy to control.
It drove me nuts for a while until I re-cut the sail shape.
It has a down haul, topping lift, mast lift, tack/luff parrel & yard hauling parrel etc. 7 lines in total."
His plans are to explore the inland lakes and waterways around his home in Rio Vista near Sacramento, California with his new junk rigged mini-cruiser.
