Very nice!

So when you're under sail, are you sitting in the cockpit like a canoe, or due to heeling, do you sit up on the side like in a sailboat? Reason I'm asking is I see that the mizzen-mast blocks access to the tiller, so it looks like you've got some control lines running forward. Wondering if it'd be possible to install a kayak-style foot-operated rudder system - but clearly that's not going to work if you're hiked out on the rail.
