Not yet, but coming into the warmer months I'm very keen to give it a go.
The missus has about 13 different industrial sewing machines, so I'm pretty sure i'll pass sailmaking over to her.
I'd like to make a fully removeable setup, still trying to work out where I can fix the mast base while keeping that idea possible.
Also trying to work out outriggers, which have a nice hull area behind the cockpit, without impinging on the pvc rocket launcher i'm planning.
So many plans, so little time and spare money...

The father I law made mine, sorta set it up, haven't taken it out for a trial yet but maybe this weekend, look forward to using it a bit this summer, I reckon there capable of racking up some good K's will see how it goes.
