Now .. where did that 70 square foot figure come from? I don't remember saying that at all!!!
If it is feasible then you will have
lug - 86 square feet
Screecher (haha ... have to call it that ... on a PDR .. hahaha) - 70 sq ft
This gives a total of 156 square ft.
If you can cajole it into going to windward ... look at where it puts it in the worldwide PDRacer sail area records ...

WOW! What a great looking boat! Are you sure that's a boat and not a piece of art to be put on display somewhere? That certainly deserves a BIG

Howdy All,
Mike has put a rather nice article on the building of his boat on the Duckworks website.

I finally have received the pics of the belated launch of A Ducks Transom conducted during the Goolwa Wooden Boat Festival. Some cleanskin sparkling burgandy was employed for the christening.
You will note the rather light conditions most suitable for a first outing and in the last pic my technique for slowing into the beach, yep drag the bum.
Cheers
Mike

I thank your friends for being discreet enough not to show me trying to catch you (and not succeeding) in the Pink PDR!
