I know, the cabin is a bit smaller than what we are used to, but this came up on craig's list and looks like a hoot!

OK, and since dividing up the topics - not real sure where this fits

Funny, me too.
If that was here in my area I'd be making room.

It does look like it would be a fun little craft; does anyone know the web page that covers this little sailboat? The sailing characteristics and all up weight would be interesting to know. At farst glance I would think it would be limited to light... or very moderate winds and don't expect to stay dry for long.

Uh....mmmmm.. no, not for me. Saw one sailing on Youtube. It looks pretty low 'n slow in the water. By the time I got my 250 Lb carcass in that and brought aboard lunch and a six pack, I'd be riding in a sail powered submarine.
If any of you do get one of these contraptions, please don't repeat what this poor guy did

This is what I am involved in along with Sloop Clearwater and my boat the sloop Eleanor was sailed in this area for over 100 years.

Looks like it has fabric for the sail,,, not a "rigid wing" like some of the modern boats.... But, what if you put runners on it and made it an ice boat?
