Brig, what a wonderful project for your scouts to enjoy...just like you to take on something BIG and run with it...sailing is right up your (pardon the pun) alley and I am sure it is from my side of the family...Love and good luck, Captain Mom

Glad to see that you did it, and there is another boat in the PDRacer fleet.

Dude, this has been so much fun to make. I cannot wait to get it in the water this week! All we have to do is put on the hardware for the rudder and connect the boom and yard to the mast. Hopefully the weather will permit us to have some fun this weekend.

I was able to step the mast last night...it was a bit tight going through the deck hole that you cut, but fit great in the mast step that I built. ;)

I think it's plenty tall.
