the boat I sailed on a pond in Ottawa on 2nd April this year is a home
built (aka "hand crafted") one-sheeter of my own design called a Loonie.
There are photos on my website under Boats. A one sheeter is a boat made
out of one sheet of plywood. There are half a dozen different one-sheeter
designs that I'm aware of. Anybody is welcome to use the Loonie design for
free. Usually I'm not able to sail in Ottawa until mid-April. I don't read
this newsgroup but I do read rec.boats.building daily and regconize some
of the names in this newsgroup from there.

tomorrow I hope to enter the other one-sheeter I designed, also on my
website, the Delta, in a local canoe race. the ice has been off that river
(Jock River, Ottawa) for one week. my goal is not to win, only to survive.

just thought I'd mention, although the Delta has not been rigged for
sailing, I was paddling it on 27 March this year, the earliest I've ever
been on the water in Ottawa, flat water at that.
