A Skiff Wind blows over the water-An account of my winter project to build my first wooden boat, a 13' plywood QT Skiff designed by Jim Michalak. Now that that boat has been launched and is in use, this blog will now also document all of my other boat building and general "MESSING ABOUT IN BOATS"

Sailing the new rig
We took the new rig out on Friday and it all seems to be working as expected. The smaller sail and sprit are much easier to handle and seem more appropriate for the boat. The rudder tends to float to one side or the other if left to it's own, but I figured that would be the case. Having a rudder does make the whole affair a little more complicated but when out for longer sails will be nice. The fore and aft tiller stick works just fine.
