SPRAY
Built by Rod & Dee Palanca
(STEEL OR ALUMINUM PLANS & CUTTING FILES version)
Hi Bruce,
Yes we finally got her ready for sea. We took her out last
Saturday. In about 7-9 knot winds, we were making 3.7 to 4 knots
close hauled and 4.5 knots running downwind wing and wing. What
really made me happy was that once the sails were trimmed to her
course, she steered herself, keeping within 5 degrees of a base
course. I sat there for 15 minutes and never had to touch the
wheel.
She heels
just enough to let you know the sails are drawing but otherwise sat
very upright and steady, no hobby horsing in the waves and riding
the swells very well. We are looking forward to heading north from
Newport, OR up to the Anacortes, WA area early next month. Let me
if there is anything else you would like to know about "Icanaho."

SAILBOAT
Hi Bruce,
Finally, we have taken time off doing
the interior jobs to do a sailing sea trial! A sedate and gentle sail of
around 40 nm over 2 days, and our yacht performed wonderfully.
In a steady 20
knots, we didn't bother to run the mizzen and even partly furled the
main, just to "get a feel" for how she handles.
Just off the breeze we were
easily able to achieve 6 knots, even making 7 knots and better at times.
We had the full main set for an
hour or so, and our yacht was well balanced and sailing with very little
heel just off the breeze. Regards
Rob McGill and Nina Morissette
