Hey Tad, how goes the mud sailing? I've been having a lotta fun with my
CCA treated pine sailboat with the welded mast. Got any tips for
getting off a lee shore with 150mm of water under you so the lateral
plane is about zero? I haven't added a motor yet but that's due to
laziness rather than any matter of principle. snip

Leeboards will continue to work until you totally ground. The
original Flying Tadpole II was able to do it by sailing on a
broad reach and witching up, all the while praying that what
little of the daggerboard was down wouldn't hit anything: but in
her case the folding rudder was acting as the main lateral plane
and leading to tendonitis in later years. Oars are useful. a
small 2hp motor is smart for just that eventuality.

How is the CCA pine doing as its own antifoul?
