    rael dobkins Dreams come True, But only to Dreamers...

    Hi all, introducing our latest vessel WHY NOT?
    built in 5 days, out of what ever left overs I got my hands on....
    this boat rocks, you can see me steer without a rudder, and I can go anywhere..... needs a lee board as his flat bottom just cant grip, but the crab claw is powerful off wind and will go very close to the wind too
    so easy to sail, so easy to shunt, what a blast. love him.


    all d best from Balkan Shipyards.

    Great congratulations! Doug will be along soon to ask why you don't put foils on it.

    Fun little boat. Steers well. Good work.
    Looks like you're enjoying the sailing as much as the building.
