Thread: GIS questions

Howdy David,

6 sheets of ply - one is only half used. The two sides take up two whole sheets with only a little wastage. So the sides are about 2ft wide.

The GIS is actually a very high sided boat, but it is hard to notice it.

However, this is what makes such a light boat a lot easier to sail - she has to heel a long, long way before the gunwale goes near the water.

I use a couple of design tricks to make sure she is steerable when well heeled too - which allows most sailors to recover from a sudden gust that they haven't noticed (or something similar)
