Beautiful, Dave
I'm planning on doing one like this too, soon:)
I wonder - what do you think of the stresses a sail rig would put on a SOF sailboat like this?
Can a skin boat handle it? Would you beef up anything because of the sail? What and where? -without adding too much extra weight. I live right on Lake Erie, and my boat would see some choppy seas on occasion - I wonder how SOF will handle it...
