Default Sailing "Tadpole" (new MiniCup)

Took our new Minicup on a camping trip to St Joseph Peninsula State
park near Port St. Joe, FL for the Memorial Day weekend. Wind varied
from 5 -18 kts. Myself and all my kids sailed her. There were a
bunch of 17-18 yr old kids with other families we knew and they sailed
her too. One 17 yr old came up to me after sailing and exclaimed
"That was totally awesome, I have to build one." She sails very well
and points well, very impressive. She got an extreme amount of use.
The visqueen sail did very well and seemed to have an excellent shape.
When I got her home, I did find some wear on her bottom and some
voids in the ply showing but these are easily repairable.
I just ordered a trailer ($139) from Northern Tool that I intend to
modify for carrying two MiniCups. This will require lengthening the
tongue of the trailer.
I got some pictures that I will try to post.
