Ron has been working on a sailing canoe for a couple years and finally got to the point where it was ready enough for the maiden voyage. He was reluctant at first because of a long week at work but after a little convincing he decided to go. I was safety kayak in case of mishaps but as it turned out I was unneeded. It was real light when we arrived and the boat functioned flawlessly. It was a good confidence booster for Ron in his design and the boats capability. He tacked back and forth across the lake and after a couple hours let me take it for a cruise. Right after I got in the wind picked up and I was soon dragging Ron around in the kayak. We switched boat and spent the rest of the evening cruising the lake dragging me around in the kayak. Great fun, I have to build me one of those now!!!
