Coquinas are so-o-o-o-o-o-o beautiful. The Georgia builder mentioned in the Dabbler description only recently launched. His build is chronicled on WBF: Another Coquina - Page 11

How's that for kudos to MIK? The GIS is the kind of skiff Coquina skippers build!Dave

Nevermind. Dave, while procrastinating on his build, has beat me to it. Originally Posted by warm beer

Not hard to see why. The GIS is fast, light and has a tiller. Originally Posted by davlafont

It is rather nice that Coquina owners like the Goat!

I just had a splendidly satisfying sail this afternoon. I had 1 hour before I had to be at a prior engagement. The sun had just come out and the breeze filled in from the South. Ten min. to set up, 40 min of sailing, and 10 min to break down and jump back in the car.
I had to row out to the wind, and I got in 3 nice long tacks into the current and made some serious ground. With my new boom and metal wire throat lockdown, I am almost positive I am pointing higher than the past two years, but it's subjective only, I will have to get a compass out.
A quick downwind back to the ramp, and row back to shore, and I was back on my way.
There is something to sitting on the rail and watching the bow slice through the water that makes me all satisfied inside.
