Default 'mini cup' sailing dinghy

Thats good to know.
Any ideas about maker her a bit more of a light-wind sailer? The winds
we get on our lake are usually more in the 5-10 range, and sometimes
even less than that :-( it seems there's either very little wind, or
there's way too much. probably the main reason i only see people
fishing and water skiing out there!

have you seen any with different rigs?

Thanks,
Shaun



Windward performance? Well, She does better in more wind, say about
12-15 mph although I have done a lot of tacking to get places in very
little air. With the lateen sail, I have difficulties judging how
close I am to the wind. I really like the lateen sails cuz they are so
simple.
