I've sailed the boat three times so far; in light, medium and strong winds. My main report is that she sails very well, but is very tippy. I cannot sit on the bench seat unless to windward in about ten knots of wind. The tiller is light, and there's a light weather helm, meaning that she is well balanced and that the sail and leeboard are lined up well.

A couple little videos, sailing in about 8 knots of wind (medium):
The first one is sailing south with Washington's Olympic Mountains on the horizon:
The second one is sailing east with volcanic Mount Baker on the horizon:
All best on a large screen, of course. The white markers are crab trap buoys.
