Happy helium day lol your friend is a star and a bit crazy 🤪 I bet when you first spotted something Golden on the water you thought have I found an old treasure chest.
I find the Scaffie doesn't make much leeway. It points up reasonably well, although the Dabber has a jib and can sit slightly closer to the wind. The Scaffie doesn't tack as well as the Dabber. I added a pulley to my downhaul which really improved upwind performance and find the convenience of a lugsail outweighs the hassle of managing 3 sails on a Dabber. Average speed over ground and ability to cope with a heavy sea is similar in both boats.
Nicely done there and a flat calm seas class.
Yes lovely calm day and lots of mackerel for lunch

We hoped for leprechaun gold, but proved you don't need wind to enjoy sailing
Smashing video David,it was a great weekend
Thanks, it was a lot of fun
Good that you take care of others garbage!🙌
Of course, dolphins eating helium balloons explains why they make strange squeaky sounds

How does the scaffie compare to your dabber? Does not having a centre board cause a lot of leeway?
