This afternoon I got my Wanderer design on the water and I'm tickled to report that she performed just meant to: sits right on her lines, steady as a rock, easy to single hand, great visibility, and wonderfully spacious and comfortable. She's a bit slow in light wind, but goes along nicely as soon as you've got 3 or 4 knots. The little 40 lb trolling motor pushes her easily and can be used on 30% power to maintain headway when the breeze drops off.

Steve Bosquette came along and gave great help. My wife, Terry dedicated her the "Terry Jeanne" and then delighted me by coming aboard as my first mate (all puns intended). We got in two short sails, about an hour on the water. This was nearby Lake Galena, with winds light and variable - 1 -5 knots.

A couple of photo's are attached. Many thanks to you folks for the great site and service this past year and a half. I'll put together a complete report this Autumn.

Warm regards,
