: Hi Harry,

: Yes, having slight weather helm is vastly better specially on a
: dink than lee helm which could get you into impossible handling
: conditions.

: Finding small sails isn't really easy, having them made special is
: fairly expensive. I'd suggest looking at the used sail sites
: online. Can find very nice sails for a very reasonable price.

: Bill H.
Lots of helpful suggestions, Bill. I've decided that I'm going to make my Coot a sailer.

There is nothing--absolutely nothing--half so much worth doing
as simply messing about in boats. K. Grahame
